Not heard anything since their newsletter of last October. Maybe someone else has learned of an update.

I thought the DINAN MCS stage 1 and 2 upgrade kits were due out sometime in March 2004 so the March or April newsletter would have it. The MC upgrades will follow at some point.

Latest word I had from Chris at Dinan was late March for release of the first components.

Looks like we are still about 4 or 5 weeks off from shipping of the MCS stage 1 or 2 kits from DINAN.

I think they do represent a good option for those that want to do some upgrades and trust the DINAN philosophy and like the idea of paying less than the JCW kit prices yet get a good 4 year warranty. Plus there are two levels of upgrades, one of which has the upgraded reduced pulley.

Further, DINAN has many more upgrades to complement the kits due out later and then even upgrades for the MC.

There is no other official update since October 03.

It will be very interesting to see the comparison between the Works kit peformance and the Dinan. I'm leaning towards the JCW conversion, but would love to get some Dinan warranty-safe suspension work as well, the best of both worlds.
