Hi Jeffhop,
Bloodyhell I wish I'd known this earlier  :o,
trouble is its hit its RESERVE (didn't expect that so quick) and has 16 watching this item,I hope you win but I'm concerned that ending the auction early after meeting its reserve won't look too good on me with ebay and other potential purchasers :-[,I'm gonna just have to let it run its course,can't think of away round this that will suit all parties [smiley=upset.gif]
I can only appologise,
Simon.

Really glad you won that frame, I was worried at one stage
as someone bid then retracted it got a bit messy,
though you ain't got it yet you haven't paid  [smiley=laughing.gif] [smiley=laughing.gif]
Simon ;)
Ps I've thrown in a couple of extras for you and serviced the pivots plus replaced the Risse lower shock bush.
