No worries.
Steve now also provides a strip and rebuild service.
I'd like to learn how to do it myself and slowly have been buying a few tools. It is a far bigger investment than the 120£ he charges. A decent torque wrench alone, that can go up to 60nm, can cost that amount, for example the Park tool TW 6.2!
As for the paint job, does anyone know why painting a carbon fork is so expensive?

If you have the basic tools and some cable cutters you should be able to strip it down to just the f&f, bb, crankset and headset fairly easily and then get Steve/lbs to do the rest. That saved me a few quid when I had my steel Condor done.

Possibly because Steel or Aluminium frames can be media blasted to remove all of the existing paint and rust etc but carbon forks need sanding and prepping by hand which takes a lot more work
As well as the fact you can't powdercoat carbon so it'll be colour matched wet paint (if you were having the frame powder coated)
