Jim, how did the maiden voyage go?
I still have got a few things to get for Beyonce yet, like carbon bars, but she's almost there.

Well, I got the adaptor (cheers again) but didn't get round to fitting it last night although i did do a dry fit and its exactly the right one :thumbup:

Plan is to fit it tonight and then take her for a quick spin tonite.

My problem is now she's built I wanna build another :cry:
