I mean maybe not exacly like that with the lathe and math and everything. But there´s useful info in the video and I did make some springs out of musical wire and much simpler tools myself. It´s simpler than one may think really.

From the parts diagram the springs do look a lot like cantilever springs, but without them in hand it´s hard to jugde what the size is. Failing to find fitting ones you could try your hand in making them yourself?

I mean it can´t stay like it is now, can it? Looks like the paint is peeling all by itself, so worth a shot with a mild paint stripper to save what´s underneath.

Feeling more and more like I´m in a black mirror episode. You know the one where they elect a cartoon character as president ...

I think you´re slightly missing the point. I´ve bid my max amount. After the auction ended I was the hightest bidder. Only to find that for others the auction apparently did not end and I was outbid after the fact. Would you not be dissapointed/miffed/enraged?

Yeah that was my plan also. See above ... Still no answer from ebay BTW (I filed a complaint)

Re colour: Last year I had the chance to see this beauty with my own eyes (ex- Mombat): This does not have the sculptured fillets but I found the colour to be sublime.

Very cool idea to get a replica made! I also really like that Mr Brodie is grown up enough to give credit to the collegues that inspired him to do what he did. Maybe I even heard a bit of admiration coming through?

Exactly what happened to me last Sunday. The bidder I was against at had the chance to get 3 bids in until he finally had the highest bid, with me just watching on the sideline not being able to do anything. Quite frustrating to say the least. Should this be the norm going forward it makes ebay...

You mean like the Japanse auctions where the last bid extends bidding time another 5 Mins? I´d find that quite boring to be honest. I really like the poker-esque aspect. Get your bid in in the last seconds and see if it sticks.

That´s what it seems like. Auction ended, highest bid for me. Then the new to me pop up message „We're determining the winner. Please refresh the page“ with the (not so) winning bid beneath instead of the "congrats you win blabla". In the next minute I watch the "winning bid" in the pop up...

Also quite poor to change the rules of the game without letting the players know 🤬 But thanks guys for letting me know, did not find anything on their page yesterday. Rage induced blindness I guess.

Trading cards :LOL: Pretty sure I wasn´t bidding on these. Yeah just like @bobby-gg said. I get that using snipe bidding programs can ruin the fun also, but I always did it "manually". Cheap (or not) adrenaline rush for me. I blame the ones with slow internet connections, sore losers 🤣 They...

Hey guys, here´s a little rant just to get it out of my system and to get to know if something like this happened to one of you also. So I was watching a nice Orange Stage Evo frame on ebay UK the whole week as my SC Superlight is now getting a bit long in the tooth (I really like me a single...

»Designed in California« brings »Made in California« back to ... California. Well the first 1/2 mile at least.
