I can second that also, having recently purchased a set of jockey wheels, and cleats for my Vittoria shoes, the package seemed to be taking its time, and when I enquired I got the honest reply that they had forgot to post it, but was including a a free second set of jockey wheels!.........you can't complain at that, can you?........I certainly was satisfied. [and while wer'e on this subject, I have to praise Scott Davis [bicycle garage] as he has just sent me a replacement Cinelli stem badge after the first one never arrived, TOP MAN]
Cheers, and Merry Christmas from the UK
