I love spending other people’s money!

Love this build. Going to be so good when done! Only issue I have is Caroline’s bike had mark 1 and 2 Vector forks with the integrated stem rather than the mark 3s with the steerer clamp. She started off with the steel stem mark ones, then moved on to the alloy stem mark 2s. She certainly used...

If you mean the Scott decals then I probably have a couple spare. You’d have to wait a week or two as I am on holiday at the moment. Drop me a mail if that’s what your after and I’ll post them out
