Thank you all for your advice. When I said local, although I live near York, I view local as anywhere in mainland uk. If I cannot find anyone I guess I will see if I can buy the parts needed and have a go myself. Stephen.

Chris, thanks for the info but I was hoping for someone a bit more local! Stephen

I want to have my front forks rebuilt. They are 35mm Betor. Can anyone give me the details of someone who can carry out the restoration? Thanks. Stephen

Faussy, thank you. The bike is actually a replica built by "fluff" Brown in 1997 of a 1966 Cotton Starmaker and yes I am planning to restore it although I suspect availability of parts may make that difficult. Thinking about what you said then I should fit steel rims and i agree with S/S spokes. Thanks again. Stephen.

Hi, I have a Cotton Starmaker trials bike and need to have the wheels rebuilt. Can anyone advise me as to what sort of rims I should fit - S/S , Alloy or chrome ? Also should I fit chrome or s/s spokes? Thank you.
