I was shot down when i said i fancy'd a set in the all mountain thread, Not sure if you can get them yet as nobody stocks them but some say 3-5 days.

 Pffft, some people just can't appreciate them. Pop into your LBS, they may be able to give you a better date? Says you're South West, if you're anywhere near Taunton, Pop into Ralph Colemans, Paul there has ordered in my new wheels from Hope and got a delivery date from them, they may be able to help you with the cranks?

 Yeah minehead, I generally get all my stuff from Kustom Bikes but he's on holiday this week, So if i don't pop on a used black set by then i will probably enquire about some and go from there! I have emailed hope but no reply as yet, i also asked if i had to use a hope 30mm bb or if a GXP or RF one would work, probably get a matching hope one though if it comes to it! When you say Paul do you mean Twiggy? Skinny lad in is twentys, Glasses?

 Go for a Hope BB, you know you want to. Got one on mine, bloomin' lovely. I believe it's the same chap, last name Phillips?

 Yeah thats the lad, he lives down the road from me!

 Good lad that one! Went out on a ride with him around Exmoor, he nearly bloody killed me. Like a mountain goat that kid.

 Was going to say he's a bit of a machine, id be hanging out of my arse if i done the sort of mileage he does!

 I was. I think it was about 23m and he didn't seem to break a sweat.

 Thats why i don't ride with him much, he'd be heartbroken when we get to 15m and i want to go home! haha

 I battled through! I'd definitely head out riding with him again though.
