Yes, a shame (and particularly with the closure of the former shop that did the work). Sure looks nasty!
See you to pick up the replacement next Saturday (hoping we can hoist it ourselves and that you're satisfied with the "new" one). I'm quite confident you'll be happy with it. We just need to pull off that machined flywheel (for me
), though, honestly, if it's easier to get it to your place and pull it off then, that would be fine too.
[funny how I missed this thread - we were traveling - and then got back in touch via my other thread on 5 speeds!]
