Markell Luton - Wheel Job

[Twinpotter]

Needing new tyres for an impeding MOT (I got Avons Storm 2 Ultras : ), I decided to deal with the patchy rear wheel. I heard about this firm that do lots of motorsport stuff so I rode in, later dropped the bare wheels in and today collected a fine pair of freshly-baked black wheels. A first class job indeed (properly done) and all for £20! (And something for the biscuit barrel). Jack is the man at Markell.
