muddied waters

Went back to basics and contacted Craddocks (for all the usual warm fuzzies).

Just a little disappointed that they appear to have become a true dot.com outfit - not in stock, that'll be 2/3 days sir.

Distribution efficiencies are still lagging way behind my expectations and holding back this interweb thingy. How difficult is it to have items despatched from their actual location to the desired destination?

oh well. maybe there'll be a nice warm snap when I get the parts.

You could try elsewhere (hint).

well, I did leave enough hints lying around in this group that I was in the market. got the impression at one point that I was having one of those invisible moments - you know the type of thing ... white 110 on a well lit street and the daft buggers just don't seem to notice you are there - sometimes have those on the bike I know, but in a /white/ 110? :)

teehee.

Given you both drive white 110's I feel neither of you can see it other... perhaphs some smoke may help.

red arrows style? foolish boy :)

no smoke, plenty steam :(

ok, so I had a few moments to spare and wandered over to the suggested location.

I know Richard didn't ask for a site review and also that this is the wrong forum, but hey, that site is in need of a makeover (no offence intended) - do you know how difficult it is to read black & dark blue on a dark green background?

ps: love the winking graphics on the home page :)

...but it works, it loads fast and more to the point he has the parts in stock.

I'm all in favour of constructive critism - that's the first regarding black on green (boy did I get some stick for red on blue!) - I'll bear it in mind, but I have to say I rather like it.

Sometime I'll find an excuse to put all the rest back - originaly it was a full MOT.

dark text on light background is the best of the lot. You don't actually have to use black and white, though.

Yours works OK for me, but might not be so good for people with less-than-optimal colour vision.

you could lighten the green a bit, I guess. Make it more like original series I green (the name of which I've forgotten), you know, the pale ones.

That's a relief :)

not surprised - there's a very good reason for that.

if you want an unbiased opinion take a wander over to news:alt.html.critique or perhaps news:alt.www.webmaster - wear a tin hat and your flame retardent suit

Don't mind the black on green it was the red on green what screwed my minces. There's one on the brake kits page even now although I think it says Hits rather than Kits, but I can't read it.

Rule 1: KISS

Rule 2: You liking it doesn't make it anything more than something you like.

Rule 3: Don't let anything get in the way of the "information".

Rule 4: KISS

and IMHO Craddock's site is a good example of far too much cleverness. I've always found it a complete PITA.

Paddock's online shop is good. Beamends is pretty good too, although not quite so well arranged in some areas.

nah! I like *constructive* critism!

Richard

Not originaly there, but could be added......

Found a Hit rather than Kit for STC4403 - corrected for next update.

Cheers Richard
