Well, I just received them and they're totally clean and look pretty damn good for £15 TBH. Loads of thread so, will pretty much fit any size headtube out of the box I think.
My ONLY issue with them is that I've found the drilled hole for my brake calliper a bit smaller than the one on my old (now bent to shit for a car) raleigh forks, therefore I cannot fit the nut for it into there.

I'm not sorry for the pic quality, I can't be arsed with digital cameras or wanky flashy camera phones.
My options are either:
1 - Go at it with a round file (which I have in my possession)
2 - Get my LBS to drill the hole slightly larger in diameter (while they chop a bit of the top off anyway)
Either way, I'm going to have to ride a 14 speed without a front brake tomorrow. Luckily there are no descents on my commute.
I had to chase the order a couple of times, but I was fine waiting TBH, I know they're not CRS or Wiggle, just wanna give the little guys some custom. In fact it's strange how the bigger places don't always sell what you want (even though CRS seems to have
everything), yet the little businesses can sort the odd bit out for you no problem.
