Skimming the face is the plan if I can't turn up another
wheel. Appearantly the guys who're doing the work have someone who can
do it.

Thanks, I appreciate the offer.

If you get *really* stuck and a new wheel costs a fortune I'll do it
over the space of a week but you'll need to bring the wheel (without
tyre) to either Flitwick or MK and then collect it a week later. I
think skimming wheels goes beyond the realms of even Nigel Eatons
workshop.
A short sharp blast on a Bimota should cover any costs :-)

If you're interested in ST wheels:
http://static.marktplaats.nl/fotos/m...onda/18125.jpg
The ad states that they're not wonky and almost new :-)
I bought some GTS stuff off this guy for a very cheap price, his email
address is;
tinkiewikkie at hotmail.com, and his name is Christian.

The wheels are in Hengelo, Holland, near the border with Germany.
You could tell him Mike with the GTS gave you his email address. If you
want his phone numbers, they are also in the ad, or I could give them to
you.

Doable on the Bridgeport with a fly-cutter IWHT.

But (TBH) I'd rather not.
