I don't know anyone who's actually managed to purchase from them for some time. The last time i tried to buy something from them, they where a lot less than interested in any custom.
Well, I'm dealing with them at the moment ... in fact I'm waiting for HP Pump #3 to arrive, the first two having exhibited 'interesting' behaviour.
I don't want to jump to conclusions but ....................... if parts are now getting scarce, and if you're in the reconditioning business, there are only so many units you can refurb (using part-worn bits) before quality starts to nosedive. The law of diminishing returns I believe it's called.
I kind've suspect the BX might be currently in that grey area where they're not rare enough to be seriously collectible like the DS/Traction Avant, but sufficiently old/scarce not to warrant the manufacture of new parts to keep them on the road.
