    Chain ring Line??

    Am in the UK. Looked for 34T steel Bosch E*Spec DM Chainring (CR4USA-100), seems to be out of stock everywhere. As you say, the alloy version is available but 3 times the price.

    As soon as it becomes evident that the business can not survive as a going concern then wind it up and move on. Seems that point arrived years ago and thereafter continued as a vanity project financed by other peoples money. Doing so has done neither the customers nor the employees any favours.
