Completely agree with Marty, sometimes you have to play the long game in this collecting hobby. Everything appears eventually, I have just picked up a frame that I have been waiting for 5 years.

Hell yeah it's worth the wait, I've also recently got some parts that have been on my wish list for well over 10 years. Personally I don't see the point of buying any and everything just because you can, I'd rather hunt for the stuff thats important to me and my builds.

And Sean, that frame :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: I might be interested in the forks though :-X ::)
