Mr. Carsten "cyclo24" Rehbein does auction some good stuff, I hope he delivers. I won an item he auctioned, auction ended 2 weeks ago, haven't received it yet. I'm not panicking - in fact I bid on and won two more of his bits just a couple of days ago. He has a good feedback rating, I'm calm... mostly.

Sorry I can't help you on the Dural Forge question, I only know the 60s variety, but someone here will know for sure.

ps, hope you get that crankset Greg - I'd love to have it but can't afford it right now - you go!
