We've been here before lads.

Mark is expensive but at least he loves the hobby and is bsolutely sound - if you have a look he has a lot of hard to find parts and some not, it's your choice if you buy off him. He was helping me with a few of my first builds before I found you lot and is a decent bloke trying to make a living, and is not the badger....

oh man, not another "let's slaughter the retailer" thread.

Maybe his ethics are slightly better than Biaggio, I don;t know, I only met Mark once, and I met Biaggio twice, both seemed like sound dudes to me.
There are both making a living, I don't have a problem with it.

No one is forcing any of you to buy things from either of them, at any price........ca.....n't.....t....y....p...e....a....n.....y....m.......o.....r.......e.......e...y....e....l....i....d...s...a....r......e........h.....e...a..v.y....

yes i'm bored of it. lol.

Sorry, people have wondered if the site is a spin-off of the Badger's because they're both based in Northampton and both very expensive was what I meant....

Mark seems sound ( even though he called me Pete once ! ) but "loves the hobby" is stretching it a bit once you price things the way they are on his site . Same as biaggio in that respect , business is business and only that .

niether are based in northampton :-\
and this wasn't a "slag them off" post just letting people know and to be honest i know mark and have spent numerous times at his house having a chat and a coffee and yes it is his business to make some money but i know for a fact that he has paid quite a bit for the bits he has got and didn't pay pennies for them

I wonder how much it would cost to build a complete bike from scratch if you bought the f+f and every component from this website?  Interesting challenge for someone who has a spare five minutes and knows how to use a calculator.   :-[ 

Then tell me it's not a rip off when it costs you £1500 to build a REFLEX.   :uglystupid2:

Ive bought lots of bits from Mark and have all been spot on aswell, i may have paid a bit more than somewhere else, i can't really remember but the point is i was happy paying that price and getting a good service included. something that doesn't happen too often these days. Keep up the good work Mark.
Cheers
