£1.05 is the going rate for a guinea. Theyre used for buying and selling horses - the £1 goes to the horse seller and the 5p goes to the government as tax on horse sales.

In Broken's absence I'll confirm it does both vertical and lateral truing, and I'm pretty sure it's the second model hippy posted

We knock them out at £80.99, but the pro truing stand is more at £200.
For those that are looking to invest in the "Pro" stand - please make sure that the base is included.... some places will sell you the stand without the base, and charge an extra £35.

Wonder if it would be practical for the FGSS membership to club together for a complete set of decent tools- mind you where on earth would we keep them/control access etc.

Meh- pipedream, ignore me!
