Re: AF race crank

Once, during a phone call to Ralph Saxelby, he called AF cranks 'Chubby Checker' cranks because 'they twist, then you shout 'b@5t@rd!' :lol: :lol:

Re: RS Clubman

Depends on how much someone wants one I suppose. I was offered a RS clubman a few months ago for £70, but didn't have the cash at the time.

Re: S Type TV200

That looks just like Dave Hardy's scooter, has he sold it?

EDIT: After looking at pics, it is slightly different.

Fine, it was built for me a few years ago. Why? :?
An obvious question but if it ran fine, then why tinker with it? It appears that you've got all manner of problems now.

Re: RS Clubman

While I do understand a TS1 with a clubman will not be as fast as one with a JL4 etc, I am OK with that. I have a GP with a TS1 and a JL4 and it is fun, but I am looking for my S2 to look more stock-ish, and have more low end, thus the dream of a RS Clubman... Any tips on how to get in touch with R...

Re: RS Clubman

Ralph was going to build a reverse cone clubman for me and quoted £300 but that was 2 years ago. I'm really happy with the Rapido kit he did for me, but quality comes at a price...and a wait. I remember asking him what the turnaround time would be and he said "when it's f@@king finished."...
