Well Ken... that's my twin brother from prison trying to steal my bike. An avatar seemed inevitable if I am going to hang around the site and create mayhem and mischief.
Doug it is good to see you back on CCS. I was looking though my spares today and I found that I still have some of your hand turned NRV cups and hand coiled NRV springs - I have avoided using them as they are works of art.
Thank you Trevor, you are too kind and I am honored that you are intent to keep those parts in spares instead of using them. Those parts are quite old now. Hmmm... your spares bin is a time capsule of sorts. Best Wishes, Doug
On the subject of kindness of friends, I well remember the kindness of a friend from the far north of Scotland, who gave me the grand tour when I arrived in his town, jet-lagged and limping. He also presented me with a nice Burmos, which I enjoy very much. What goes around comes around, Kerophile, and I'm glad to see you on the receiving end. ....Arch
