Comment by Cliffy on January 11, 2011 at 11:09am: A mate of mine back in about 82 ish When we were in the RAF in wiltshire had a bunt framed bay area style bonnie, had a black and gold leaf scrolled tank and fenders with tiller bars.If i can find a pic i'll post it but it'll take some sifting thru to find!!

Comment by brian gilmartin on December 17, 2010 at 7:16pm: Greetings from the land of Oz,

I'll try to attach a photo of a bike I built around 1980. sold it in 1982 to a guy from London(ish). Frame No was UB7957. Why the hell do I remember that after 30 years?

Picked up the frame from Frogs Island, and i think Mr Reed had a shop in Didcot(?) at the time. Used to buy bits from Nigel Staley in Leicester (I lived in Burton)

Anyone know if that frame is still in use?

Comment by Nigel Staley on October 2, 2010 at 10:41am: OK New to all of this
I was Johns shop manager for years then took over the business when he left for the USA.
So what do you want to know ?
