acorn are in Sandhurst - they will do a cracking job and wont be much more than 30quid

done heaps of stuff for me

I ended up ditching the kooka cranks and switching to m900. But may well use Acorn for some future anodising. Nice one Nick

Love the Spengles too Pete, from a purely aesthetic view though, a stem with a little bit more rise would look better. Otherwise really love it.

Thanks Nico that's exactly what I'm wanting. Just don't want to pay£220 for it

Love the bike Magpiegifts and I think the wheels look fab and set it off lovely.

Some great feedback and comments on this thread, and yeah those EFCs are expensive but don’t come up very often in that condition either.

Magic ride.

yes it's the one from ebay, "a little" expensive! I wish you to find one at a better price

Kind words Matty thank you . This was my first build thread on retrobike and I think they went easy on me. I appreciate all the support.

Just realized who the seller is Nico. They are on RB and I've just bought from them recently. Maybe I can negotiate with them.

I understand they have springs fitted Pete, which if you want them is a great mod although naturally they are much heavier than elastomers. Got the original brace though and steerer in great nick.

Good luck.
