I know no-one will have spare stancions laying around.
Can anyone point me in the direction of anyone who could fix quite badly pitted ones.
TIA

All Bike Engineering
If too far gone they can usually make new ones

Trent do a search on here about yambits you’ll soon see why they are known as sham bits. I’d rather pick my nose with a red hot poker than give them a penny. Philpots are supposed to be a prettgood option. You’d be better if possible having them rechromed than buying after market.

I've sent two sets of 4L0 and a pair of F2 stantions off to Philpots about 6 weeks ago. He said it would be 6 to 8 weeks then he'll contact me to pay. I'll report back when I receive them. I sent them based on recommendations and he offered me a discount for the three sets.

Wemoto do Tarozzi stanchions for £135 inc vat. Made in Italy.
Philpotts in Luton are great. I called them with a bent H1 500 fork that I bought from ebay, obviously not declared as such.
They straightened it on the spot for me, polished. All done whilst waiting. Can't beat the buzz / smell of a proper engineering shop too.

And I thought I was the only one that likes the sight, sound and smell of a machine shop. Some of them are like time capsules. I'm transported back 40 odd years to being an apprentice sheet metal worker in a mixed engineering workshop.

The smell, noise, haze, distant chatter and the odd dirty magazine lying around. Love it. |
