I felt bright enough this morning to drive to Clay Cross to collect my Superdream frame from Rood Automotive, the guy I dealt with is Ollie. Cost was £100, turn round was 3 days, I could not collect it yesterday as I was not well enough to drive.

He is no stranger to bike frames, he used to work for Langley Gates in the powder coating arm. They wanted £240 inc VAT, RPT at Ripley were talking from £120 plus VAT. I would not use them again.

The frame is still in my car I will post a photo later.

Frame still in my motor,
Wendy has made it clear, however temporary, it can't stop in the house, so photo taken in situ in boot of car.
I'm chuffed with the finish, frame number staming still legible on the headstock as requested.

We are both experiencing  the green shoots of recovery, I still have a temperature, the ear ache might be unrelated. ;)

I would not leave them on if you are out of the room Bryan, over a thousands reads like a potential fire risk.

2 sets of 3000 plus one set of 2000.
The boss told me i was not allowed to spiders web from branch to branch so the run strats in middle up a branch going round spurs then back to middle to get to next branch.

Total load less than 5amp for the lot Ted, cant feel any heat from the lot at all.
The boss told "there are gaps!"
