Going up Saturday to find myself some chrome rims and spokes for the Bantam. Anyone been before?/Going?

thought you had got the spokes and seen some rims for £45 ???? the rest is looking bloody good

long story short, sent off for the rims and spokes to Peter at T&G up in Milton Keynes by postal order, £43 per rim, £24 for spokes each rim along with lots of other bits and pieces which tot'd up to £200+ worth of order, called him a week later "Just checking if I've ordered the correct kit for my model Bantam and is there anything else I will need for fitting the wheels etc.." Shortly followed by a very un-welcome reply and was told that I was stupid for asking, that he was offended that I thought he might send the wrong parts for my bike, sworn at a bit and then told to f*ck off and find the parts elsewhere and that he'd cancelled my order(s). I didnt even get a chance to give him some jip back the c*nt very odd man. Ive ordered from him a few times before and he was excellent and as you know I reccomended him to you and a couple others. (Now regretting that alot) The guy's a stuckup, power-hungry cnut.

So that's why I'm now f*cking off and sorting the wheels elsewhere! I found out after they were cheap because they're the 'Italian Chrome' ones that he is selling which are shite and rust within a matter of weeks and are also weaker and harder to build. So kinda glad it went t!ts up. Looking to buy the more expensive British made 'English Chrome' ones now with decent spokes. Andy at CMS is bulding them up and truing them for me when I get them. (hopfully tomorrow) and the hubs have now been sand blasted and sprayed ready to be built

How come you keep having trouble with sellers? I'm not sure I like bantam owners now...
