How much does he charge? If you don't mind me asking.
Hi Trevor I would imagine it would depend on what you want done but his price's and work are good. your best bet would be to contact him via PM Downpipe3 or his number is in the triple's mag cheers

this is true Rob as a lot of the jigs were purpose made and myself and Bill baxter were puzzled as to what they were for but now it has all clicked into place and Chris was a genius without doubt.

there is no way in the world i would have attempted building cranks without the right tooling

btw 2 cranks ready for your collection
