Try not to get an afrox cylinder, if you do and you take it back to afrox for a refill and you don't have a rental agreement with them they will charge you for the rental since the last time it was in there system

 

Never been a problem. I have an account with Afrox (They deliver my LPG to my house) I asked them how much a big Argon refill was. They asked if it was an Afrox bottle to which I replied it was. They delivered a full one and took away the empty. No issues.

Grebel R1200 for a cylinder fill is very expensive... I pay 800 for a argon refill....

 

Shot for the heads up. Yeah I thought so too at the time. Was my first full bottle and it was convenient. I won't get caught again.....

 

Edit: is that from Afrox?

Pretty much like the welds on the first Cannondale frames (Birdshit welding)

 

 

whaaat? Lies & slander I tell you!  I've only had beautifully finished welds on all my 'dales,  my first mtb being a beautifully crafted Al welded frame with seamless and well-finished welds, back in 1989

 

Their workmanship has played a big role in me being a avid and loyal brand junkie.

Did it not lose a bit of, um, romance when it stopped being made in the USA with USA steel? Liked to imagine the Dales I owned being welded by a bearded, trucker cap-wearing old Yank in a small factory near a railway siding...

Sadly yes when they were bought out, they stopped making their bikes in USA ...

But still 3 out of 4 of my treasured bikes have "Handmade in USA" on them. I wonder if Trump will sort this situation out, after all he has promised to make the US 'great' again.
