Hi Lads,

Completely new to smallframes and Im on the look about for some casings to play about with. I have a pair that I am going top look at tomorrow. Is there any thing that I should look out for (ie common problems) before I pass over my hard earned.

Muchly appreciated Wayne M

Check that they match. Check all the threads. Check the bearings housings. Check for cracks. Check that they aren't warped. I think that's about it. ;D

Can be repaired with devcon/jb weld but best if they're mint...
