So I've started to rebuild my mini moto race bike from the ground up replacing all the broken bits etc.

I had some nasty 'digs' in the frame like this:

So I spoke to Roy and he said he could sort it. I cannot recommend him enough. Fantasic service, excellent workmanship and he's a top bloke too. All the digs have vanished and it looks brand new again!

The photos really don't do it justice, it's very hard to photograph something that's so reflectice. It's like a mirror now! 8)

Thanks again Roy. Speak to you soon when the other bits arrive...

Thanks scorpion got a trickle of work coming in at the moment but like you say could do with scoring a continual job for bread and butter money realy, but its early days yet, having new garage/workshop built at the back of my house from my redundancy money which will give me a bit more room, its being built round my old garage which is quite small, with 3 bikes in there a big tool chest a work bench etc etc and im polishing in there, had to put up a dividing curtain as you know scorpion even with the best extraction that polishing dust gets everywhere, cleanest shop i worked in though was Rolls Royce in Bristol polishing titanium turbine blades for harrier jump jets, no kidding mate you could eat your dinner off the floor, Question for you how do you tell a happy polisher?????
