Hi,
Where in the world are you? If in the UK I can recommend someone in Bolton Lancashire, when I've found their name and address.
Otherwise Old Bike Mart magazine is a good source of info on such services, a single issue trial can be bought from

Hi,
Can't find the person in Bolton.
Try central wheel at

They should be OK.

Were the bikes privately imported or were they bought through a dealer?
