Featherlite extra safe and electronically tested

[oldschoolace]

Last week a new catalogue from one of my suppliers dropped on my mat and a quick look through set my mind thinking about adapting something they produced. A few emails later and a couple of prototypes were on the way.
They arrived yesterday and fit bob on. They hold the forks well and are a snug fit in the head tube, perfect for displaying show/rare/nos frame and forks.

What do you reckon?

Like that  i usually chuck £18 at a repop tioga....... Then fook the powder trying to knock the cups out.....

I know some don't like fitting headsets in nos or rare framesets Bert but it's nice to display the frame and fork set ( not that I have owt worth displaying  )

The rubber is firm enough to give real protection and keep the forks secure but still sort enough to mount/remove easily

What a great idea

[Bfellows]

How much.......?

[oldschoolace]

That's the only problem at the mo Bert, I would have to sell them on at about 11 quid a pair to make it worth getting a batch made, I would rather they were a fiver a pair or something like that so am asking round

Sounds great Clint & still cheaper than a headset to protect frames 

[CustardLips]

Nice idea Clint.

Gents I don't want to pish on your chips as that is a great solution...... but just Get yourself to b&q with 99p for a length of 1" pipe lagging. Usually sold in 1m lengths so good for 5 or 6 frame sets

No hammering, no mistakes

Great idea Clint, Juan Mattos did a short run of this type of things a while back, I have one sort of fitted to my Haro Anniversary F&F but that's a real tight fit.  I'd certainly be interested in a couple of sets if you do make them

It's not looking too probable at the moment mate, the usual British company attitudes to customer service are as evident as ever 

I remember the CW ones and for the life of me I can't find a single image of one. I believe they lost the site info while attempting and update or something. I heard postage to the UK wasn't exactly cheap either
