Just received a reply from Witcombs to an email I sent them about this problem, this is their answer-
''Thank you for contacting us. We can indeed undertake the job but the extent of our intervention would depend on how much the steerer is too long. The rethreading would cost £20/per inch.
It might however be easier and quicker to replace it. This would cost £45.''
I could do this job easily if I had the tools, these people are s'posed to be skilled mechanics! Easier! Quicker! about a 30 minute job!
So that would make me worth 180quid-if you get my drift! Cos mines already threaded!
