slow down there mr carlos,i know who your trying to slag off.hes a good friend
he didn't do the dirty they changed there buying conditions without warning,which was a 30 days to payment in full to get the parts without telling him.he tried
to buy smaller batches upfront and when sold by more,but they ignored his emails and calls,then he found out he sold them to readspeed with broadys name on them at a cheaper price than he was paying for 5 years,he was s**t on from great heights.

This is a matter of public record.
I don't know why you asked the question when you appear to know the people involved.
I'd have to ask the question, "what are wanting to achieve with this post?"

Alpha cranks were the most heavy and unbalanced cranks ever produced for Lambrettas why use one of those?

Did Alpha get paid in full when MBD liquidated? Or did MB leave an unpaid bill?

Who was the manufacturer of the Alpha crank? Er......? The answer is in your question.
"Who was (were) the main dealers" MB Developments (Serious Outdoors) as you well know.
