Not sure of their name, but be wary of the outfit on Curran Rd, they recently destroyed a customers frame by blasting away the pivot bearing surfaces, and furrowing the main surfaces despite claiming they were experts in precision aluminium components, and being told to avoid damaging the bearing surfaces.

Yup, ouch to the price of a new Orange 5 frame (though we did him a discount as he's a regular, and the sales staff felt pretty badly for him). Bearings which used to be interference fits now fall into place under their own weight and rattle around, and the swingarm looks like a series of waves along it, and they're denying any responsiblity, and telling him it's fine.

Ta for the heads up, the lot that I went to visit on Friday chemically strip the frame which I would prefer, might have to arrange a time to drop in or post it.
