I had problems with my e-mail server or basically the hosting around July/August, and a few months later the web guy said there was a huge cache of e-mails in my hosting account, not sure what happened but couldn't send any e-mails out without it getting returned and didn't get many e-mails either. I reply to all e-mails though. But I fully agree with you, e-mails are very important part of the shop. Anyway, about James, he was happy to just ride and enjoy himself at the moment, as he has explained, any happy to support James with whatever he needs and we are always talking and helping eachother so I'm quite happy to support Porter the way I do. The Ashton bike looks great, imagine cruising about the streets rolling about and pulling some big street moves on it, and knowing how little you payed, looks like fun to me. Phil.
