Any reason you say that?? And anywhere else you know of?

Give them a call; you'll find out!
Though it does, apparently depend on who you speak to...
But, I did manage to find out that you need to send the BB off to them to have new cups fitted (they won't sell them to you unless they fit them).
I nearly bought some Tune cranks and BB on ebay a few weeks ago, but their attitude put me right off the idea.
I did find a "new" BB on German Ebay though, for £100 ish.

i have never dealt with posh bikes i just knew they stocked the stuff, germany would be a good place to get Tune stuff though as it's german! i always felt their stuff was a little light though.

I've got a Sixpack in good condition lying around... 103mm length BSA 68mm...

I'll only sell it complete, but for a good price, cause I no longer own the crank! comes with 4 screws and 3 shells (two with and one without the the fix chain line - one without the "mechanical stop/collar")

Cheers thanks for the reply,

Can I have a pic and price when you get a moment, please.

I've had terrible experiences with Posh Bikes too on the few occasions I have had cause to call them. There's this bloke with a rather nasally voice who just talks at you. Might be all right if you don't get him. There's a very nice woman there who is very helpful but when her knowledge runs out she says "I'm just going to transfer you" and your heart sinks.

Made to feel like the most stupid person ever to have been born - and I'm certainly not thin-skinned.

Posh Bikes essentially seem to be at war with anyone else who sells Tune parts and, by extension, anyone who buys Tune parts from any outlet other than them.

I feel better now...

Spot on!
That sums up my experience to a T, except when I phoned the nasally one had a cold and punctuated every sentence with a few sniffs and the odd grolly roll. Nice!
