Hope I haven't completely missed a thread that would answer this question, but does anyone happen to know of an engineer with a workshop with mills/lathes/cutting tools within the M25 who could take on small, simple bicycle-related one-off projects without charging silly money?
It's a bit of a long shot, but I'd rather get it done right and pay for it than attempt it myself and make a mess of it. The type of job might vary a bit, but usually similar to this one..
I need to get a (steel) rear wheel axle machined to make the flats a bit longer, which will alter the spacing, so the wheel will fit correctly without having to attempt to spread the dropouts.
Some frame builders will have the tools but your problem is that one-off small jobs are crap - unless you get properly paid for them. So you might find that anyone who can do the work properly and promptly will charge more than its worth to you to do it.
