    Right, after consideration, here is the story. Until I decide otherwise this can be reposted/replied to with the services offered previously.

    Via PM I have been assured of the capabilities of the mechanic in question - further actually knowing him in passing allows me be confident that he's capable.

    How n ever, keep communication to PMs, this isn't a boards recommendation, nor a personal recommendation. Nor is it something I particularly wish to encourage. How n ever as I'd like to build a community here, in some respects to replace the irishcycling.com boards that were great craic but moderated by inexperienced people and abused, it is reasonable for people to have somewhere to turn for repairs and recommendations.

    To that end be sure to recommend this place to people, make them aware that training spins, etc can be advertised here, etc.
    If you have further ideas please PM me as well and we can figure out how to develop this place.

    Uberwolf,

    I'm in the same boat as the person who stuck on the last message (I assume, didn't see the unedited posting) I could do with some mechanical help, surely it always comes at a price, but perhaps a little cheaper than the LBS? I don't think there's any harm in requsting help and then asking for a PM/reply?

    P.

    Here is the original post

    Hey,

    Seen as the other half is'nt getting back on his bike for the next while and has some spare time on his hands im offering his time ( at a cost ) to service and tune bikes or forks for a reasonable rate. Also he can build wheels/bikes or repairs

    Were in crumlin/rathmines you can deliver or he can collect within reason

    You can contact me for details via pm for pricing etc

    Cheers

    Natalie

    Hi Kona,

    Just checked the 021 website and you are indeed right he is in slovenia .... And to think James told me he was going to Austria :mad: .... I will have to keep an eye on him in future;)

    Dont know if it was been broadcast. I dont think any of the team except Ben Ried qualified.

    Drapper: James is gonna check out if he can get all the new seals required for the fox forks and will let me know when he is back tommorrow

    James has recently returned from Fox HQ in Basle in Switzerland, where he received specialist training on all Fox products.

    James has a lot of spares and can get the most out of your suspension, just ask Ewan Doherty(Irish Junior Champ).

    So, if your looking for a service or a part relaced or fixed, drop James an email

    OC.TUNING@HOTMAIL.COM

    thanks

    Natalie
