Have to say having only dealt with carbon after-market wheels before was VERY impressed with the weight of the forged alloy. Would have weighed them for you boys , but busy last night getting ready for weekend away.
Not sure what day I will be home 2bim's, but will let you know for collection. No news on your delivery time yet Oily, but ours did take the 5-6 weeks they quoted. So yours may be ready for my next trip to the midlands at the end of the month. |

Sounds good to me, looking forward to it 
Whilst your trying to remember to look for discs...you wouldn't maybe have a rear disc too?
or at least a ebc part number?

You should contact Piero of V-due fame as he seemed to have brand new spare rear discs, as I picked up a pair around 30Euros apiece from recollection? Same size and fitment from Db2 right through to V-due, santamonica SB6, antera, Marchesini, Oscom etc
I took a punt a while ago on a Cagiva Mito rear disc, as it uses the same brembo caliper but oh No, they look the same but they are 10-15mm off all round on fitment.
I would have thought that EBC would be charging 60-70Squid for a rear disc?
Isn't "white" the new gold for "gay"....  |

No. Gold will always be gay and white will never be gay.
I doth think you protest TOO much

Depending on whether mine comes off the vdue's Antera's may be ordering one myself. So if you are interested Oily, will just get you one at the same time. Don't know what the postage will be as 2bims stuff came in the van with the bikes. ( Bloody great hey, get him the cheap option )
Me thinks he is still wrestling with those inter demons 2bims.

A Twin Man? Is that where you throw your piston in one direction and then throw it in the opposite direction? ....oh Err, I think I may stick to my single Piston Ktm, even triples and 4's would create more controversey, and as for "in-line sixes"????
Well I've referenced "Wiki" and it would appear that the Gay Colours are the colours of the rainbow
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_gay_colors
Thus all tricolor bikes are Gay, or any other Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. Sounds Like Bimota standard colour palate... |

No mention of carbon, gunmetal grey and white 
We all know, the gay colours are "V twin", pink and gold
