Thanks for the insight everyone. I guess I've had one of those itches to scratch since having a factory tour in the late 80s but didn't really take the opportunity to evaluate a Kirk against a conventional (back then) steel frame. I'm not an engineer so I have no answer to many of the criticisms of ...

Does anyone have any knowledge or expertise on Kirk magnesium frames from the 80s/90s? I have one from the era between Kirk and Dawes and you don’t need to repeat all the horror stories! I have heard most of them. But some people rate them highly apparently and I was wondering whether to start ridin...

PayPal provides guarantees in the event that items are not as described... I'm pretty sure they won't guarantee that two individuals agree on the definition of subjective terms about an item's condition. I don't see it as the role of the forum's moderation team either. The idea that something is ab...

If you are trying to help folks for the future OP, could you perhaps answer my questions above about the seller's track record on here. Must say in various dealings on here I have had only good to great experiences. (well apart from one where I sold something cheap to someone I later suspected of b...

While not knowing the exact circumstances, I'd have thought the offer of a refund if buyer not delighted would be part of the spirit of friendliness & common interest that underlies interaction amongst members of this group... I deliberately chose not to name the other party in order to keep so...

Maybe a timely warning for forum users that is even more important during these strange times. This is a short story of a recent transaction during which I bought an item from another forum member. I am not going to name names or describe the item so that it can be identified but I want to highlight...

A number of years ago they used to undertake radar cross section measurements off Wembury which involved the warships making 360 deg turns to determine the radar hot spots which needed to be minimised. This came after the Falklands and the experience from losing ships to Exocet.

Yes.....or at least I think so. I will be using LX cantis which are the same as road pull ratio?
