Drool . I have no connection with the vendor , but those Seer rods are lovely , I wish I hadn't sold mine now, buy and you won't be disappointed . If only I had a few quid spare ......
 
Cheers Mike, making the decision to sell them has taken ages as I'll never be able to replace them. They need to be used or put in a collector's cabinet
