Hoke's L96

I wish that was the case, they actually moved it upstairs from there workshop as it was taking up space and thought it would make good use of it on the shop front.

If it was in France right now, I will gladly pay 1st class on the Eurostar to get the damn thing!

I think what annoys me is that, in my line of professional we have a thing called 'duty of care' that you inform and look after the clients interest as possible. Yet, with zyrofisher I feel like they don't really give a damn.

Distributor. You aint their customer.

They also secretly hate people who buy used stuff.

This.

You're spending a few pounds. Why should they care?

I openly hate them! (which will be expressed kindly in tonight's email after work)

Seatmast is actually costing me £150

Zyro are probably making a tenner.

3d print a mast topper?

Call Look and pay them a visit? Or did I miss something

Get the LFGSS hit squad back up and running. I'm sure the cause is just.

Anyone got a photo of the mast "birds eye view"? Am I right in assuming its not an aerofoil?

Scilly.Suffolk - CRACK
PhilDAS - they send it with Yodel, you wait in all day but they don't knock. Instead leaving it in your "safe place" by which they mean next to a wheelie bin

señor - Loses it on the way home from the post office. Resets the 5 month clock.
Coldharbour - all arrives in good time, turns out seat mast sits above min insertion point, 10mm too low. Knee flairs up, sells bike, buys Audi, hates cyclist, moans about road Tax.
Turkish - Seatmast arrives on time, but 1 day later a forumenger that lives near Hoke posts a sale ad for the exact mast he needed that he 'had in his parts bin for 6 months'

6pt – this whole thread is a lynchman-esque ruse. Ho doesn't exist, he's just the figment of some bored drone's imagination. The bike in LMNH isn't his. Zyrofisher have not failed anyone, as nobody has asked for the seat mast. We're all suckers.

the thought of drilling into the look frame is a step to far for me and the mechanic...

You know you want to...

How complicated actually is this part you need? For £150 could you have paid various forumites to braze/drill/turn/machine a chunk of alu into the right shape? Genuine question

@HoKe - I could carve you one from a nice piece of walnut ;-)

Lolo - ZyroFisher have had the part for weeks but since they've read on the internet that they are "idiots" and "useless twats" they have decided to leave it in Barry from Logisitics' pigeonhole, knowing he's on a year-long sabbatical.

dj- @IR asks if he can have a go on the bike and it disintegrates

Smashed out an email last night stating my frustration and disappointment to both company (probably shot myself in the foot) but I rather let my anger out in an email rather than going to the pub to get smashed on a Monday night.

Hopefully this little kick up the back side will get things going and we might see this mystical seatmast by the end of the month.

You should've slept on that. Being a ranty twat in an email isn't going to do you any good whatsoever.

Yeah, that's unlikely to help the matter. Also, beer is tasty.

Just let a professional take a drill to the damn thing and put the other topper on...

I am feeling for Ho. I just spoke with an online shop who are able to order a replacement seatmast, however the rep said they were unable to ship Look parts outside of their own country (Switzerland) and so would need to contact the distributor for the UK. Which all other contacts and ranting aside he's only trying to order a part from a company that sells parts. But he's stuck with Zyrofisher. The guy did suggest contacting Look directly and complain about the difficulties with the distributor, but I can't remember if Ho has done that already.
