Chris Latham is his name. He did the retrim on my RS four spoke and the workmanship was fantastic.

Seems a real shame, he used to have a really good reputation as well.
From what I have read (and you always take these things with a pinch of salt) it sounds like he just took on far too much for a one man band, although some of the stories of him keeping folks parts for over a year are disappointing if true.
Feel free to remove his name from my post if you like.
