Thanks very much, that is greatly appreciated.
Geoff passed away last year. Complications of leukaemia finally took him, even though he had battled it twice. A great guy, a funny man and someone who cared for other people. I used to work with him at Bell Street Bikes and it was one of the happiest periods of my life.

I'm fairly sure BSB = Bell Street Bikes. I've seen a few pop up on ebay over the years. I think it was a shop in Marylebone in the 70-80's. I can't remember whether they built their own frames or bought them in or if I dreamed this information as a quick Google has revealed nothing beyond a mention of "Bell Street Bikes " being one of London's friendlier bike shops.
Ah, found this mention on retrobike:
"... It all started back in '87 when I worked in Bell Street Bikes NW1 after school building bikes like the BSB400 touring bike and the BSB Blazer ATB which was a 531 frame with TA chainset, Dia Compe brakes and Suntour index gears, this sold for £400."
