I'm just about to start tidying the loft workshop - there's already a pile of parts in the "to be sold" pile.  I'm keeping most of the workshop machinery.  I'll put on the K2 springs later tonight.

Hi Callum,
I made a purchase thru the RDS website a few moments ago.

I contacted you about my 'way small'  854 frames.  They are 14.5 inch frames.  You responded that:
"frstly - we have seen "way small frames" using odd sizes of elastomer stack - these are rare but your bike does seem like a way small frame!

Use 72mm = 656R"

I placed an order for two sets of 656R MCU's.  I made a note in the Paypal payment page, but could you send me the 72mm sets?

Thanks again for your support, dedication, and commitment to us Proflex riders.  We appreciated your efforts and wish you the best in the future.  Enjoy your family and enjoy riding!!!!!  See you on the trails.

Dammit! I can't believe I finally found someone who makes a rear disc adaptor for my bike, just in time for them to go out of business. WTF??

Could you be persuaded to sell/gift the diagrams and parts lists for the disc adaptors to someone else who can continue to make them?

I've been out of HH's for over a year.  We have a few in the workshop (K2 EVO Aluminum swingarm) and I found 97HH2K yesterday.  Sorry no Oz/5000c or the x56HH left.

Sh*t.

I almost wish I'd never found out the option had ever been available. Would've been better than showing up to the party just as everyone's leaving.

Link to Callum's sale: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/rapiddescentuk/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340

Have taken the liberty of creating a temporary sticky to this effect while the sale is on.

Callum, I consider myself fortunate to have acquired my LTK when I did. I too will miss your knowledge and expertise on all things Pro Flex.

There was a big heavy box in the loft at one point full of the LTK arms, Think I've still got them.  i think I ran out of the L pieces and never got any more made...

Callum, when you say a 'big heavy box' how many pairs of arms are you talking?

Has anyone heard from Callum about the box full of LTK arms? I really would like to get my hands on 6 or 8 of them.

No , I guess he busy as ive pm'd him aswell but not had a reply. I'd like some spares as well. Wonder how much it would cost to have some L shaped pieces made up? a few more people could have the kit then..

hi - I didn't get your messages.    I reckon I have about 10 LTK9596 arms - not all have the teflon bushings in them.  Too heavy to post all of them - ie. I can only just pick up the box!  but if you want ones and twos then give me a shout.  i don't have L brackets left.  Only arms for the 97 beast style frames and the 856-style frames.

Callum, I would take four. If you can figure the cost plus shipping to California I can pay anyway you want...barring servitude of course--- :)
