Don't worry, Maz, with prices as low as they have been, a lot of silly people who don't know better will be hopping on the 1125's and wrecking them in no time.... leaving plenty of spare parts around

Don't worry it'll only be the people who bought the thrown together 2010 models that need to worry

Maz - meant to ask. How did your stripdown of the 1125 go? How does it compare to the XB in build quality? |
