Is it possible to buy nosecones in the UK? 

I came across an eBay listing for one, but have seen mention by Alan Goodman that a sample he saw (which might not be from the same place) wasn't of great quality. 

Ideally I'd like something along the lines of the nosecone from the Lightning F40.  However, my bike's bottom bracket (dual 20" wheels) is lower than that of the Lightning, so I think that particular nosecone would end up scraping the road!  In any case, I couldn't afford to buy one and have it shipped over from the States.

Anyway, I just wondered where to start looking...

Hi David, I've got a couple of moulds for nosecones. I can send you pictures if you're interested. Haven't got time at the moment to make a moulding myself but it may be possible to get a third party to do it?

Hi Geoff
 
Thanks very much.  That would be great.  I'm not sure what would be involved, but I'll PM you my email address.

If your not too bothered about surface finish I have a few for Windcheetah's that are available, not sure if they will fit?

PM me and I'll give further details.
