Default Elswick Cycles **Update**

So I kind of had a issue with my bars. Robert at Elswick Cycles cut and powder coated a new set and is sending them over free of charge!!!!!

This guy is super! If you are looking for bars, oil tank, frames, seat pans, battery boxes, gas tanks etc. give this guy a call. You'll think Jesus came down and made them for you.

In this day and age of corporate greed, pilfering and outsourcing, to find someone that is honest and stands behind their product is rare...

4 star operation..

I am currently in the process of getting a set of drag bars from him also (they are shipping tomorrow). This guy has great customer service, every email I have sent was replyed to almost imediately and he was more than willing to get me any info and pics that I asked for. I can't wait to get his bars in this week and will inform y'all of the quality which I am sure is on par with his customer service. Tom, glad to hear your experience is the same as mine.

Just out of curiousity, I noticed the tapout sign. You roll or fight? I am professional MMA fighter/kickboxer 7-1 mma, 16-0 kickboxing.

Robert is righteous. He'll take care of you. I would encourage anyone to use his product.

Neither, just fund UFC through pay per view!lol I was thinking about getting into BJJ but there is only one gym in Maine that trains and they are a little bit of a drive. Between the Navy and my wife and baby boy I am just to busy. Congrats on the record, I will have to keep an eye out for you.

I think I am hanging them up....no money in the support and I've been in the corporate world for 10 + years. I just train guys now, we have a really good team record and obviously winning is encouraged. I got one guy right now that could be a world champ. I still train and spar, probably always will. But @ 39 my body doesn't want another training camp.
