FAO Scott221 (or anyone) Re: Checking frame / forks

[crushedlizard]

Where did you get your frame / forks checked? I don't mean the exact business - but where do you take a frame for this sort of work? I doubt many mechanics have the equipment to do it.
I'm hoping to rebuild my ZXR but need to check my frame isn't buggered. By eye, it looks ok, but I want a proper check done.

By the way, this applies to everyone, but I remember reading Scott's write up a while back.

Cheers

I went to the UCCA - an Art college turned uni. Bought my ZXR from Maidstone too - Inta bikes. Nice guy in there. He let me take it out for practically a whole afternoon on the test ride.
I went out thinking, "nah this ain't much, I'll get a 600". Came back thinking "I love this bike! buy it, buy it, buy it!"

yeah i know of Inta mc's, been past loads of times, never actually popped in. Usually goto Laguna's or Hein Gerick.
