List of my current Dave whips, need to check for some numbers:
*My only custom-made-for-me one. DY 1006 Fixed Winter Bike, 853 triangle, 725 stays I recall, 'R' fork. 1" threadless steerer. Not-quite-horizontal TT which Dave said would look like a mistake. He was right. Engraved DY on crown and undrilled SS bridge. Stainless ends /single bottle bosses. Clearance for 28 w guards. Fillet brazed. TT c. 550mm, virtual ST c.590mm
*Condor MTB 26er 853 frame for sus-fork (presumably main triangle only). Fillet Brazed. HT for 1&1/8" steerer. Will confirm if it's one of Daves when i get round to finding the serial. About 16" size I guess. Bought from early-forum face Sam.
*Paris road frame, unnamed (mixed?) Columbus tubes. Close clearance, no eyes. Lugged. 1" steerer. Will confirm if it's one of Daves when i get round to finding the serial. 570mm TT ish, by about 590mm ST. Bought from someone here up in Manc land.
*DY / M Steel Tandem 26er, 531 Tandem tubeset, flat oval drainpipe, crossed-X seatstay bridge, bosses for roller-cam or U brakes. Humongous and beautiful sloping fork crown. Fillet Brazed. 1" steerer! Fairly slack HT geo ie ATB style with no- or negative trail. DS chainstay was rotten when I acquired, replaced very nicely by Winston Vaz with columbus TSX, a few extra bosses (direct mount guards & front rack) added at the same time. Will hunt for serial but have powdercoated it so a bit iffy unless I whip the fork out in case there's one there. Pilot ST c. 530mm, Stoker ST c. 480mm, at a guess. Bought from Matt (can't remember name on here) in Bomo.
*DY audax from around 2016. Mixed reynolds. Compact. Rear rack & Mudguard eyes. Fillet Brazed. 1&1/8" steerer. Nice Ebay seller called Steve from Stoke confirmed it was built for him by Dave, will check number though. c.550mm TT, Virtual ST about 540mm at a guess, ie too small for me really.
I regret not buying one that ended up in Rick's hands (Rickster?), a red 26r touring rig. And of course Dogsball's old purple and silver track machine.
