...........Agreed though, bargain at a fiver posted!!  They used to do laybacks for the same price but they were snapped up real quick!!  I needed one pretty bad and found the old school local bike shop had got one out the back in the packet and charged me £2 :) ....Bonus eh!!

He let me have a bit of a mooch but its pretty much just mtb stuff in his old stock. I did however see he'd got quite a few used SR crank arms but those were in boxes of deep junky bits and they were probably just mtb anyway. Its got me thinking if he had anything else in the junky boxes now lol

Gotta be worth another mooch!Those sr cranks are quite expensive if tubular! :daumenhoch:

Didnt see any tubular's but thats not to say he hasnt got any knocking around in a box :)

I might ask him nicely if he will let me take another look, it might solve a couple of build problems lol.
