Have a look at this link
http://www.bikebrothers.co.uk/tjcycles.htm
there are some pics of TJ and his workshop - which is in his back garden, it seems to have been converted from a large shed / garage from what I can remember of it. I think the method he uses to roll out dents, is the same for the way he rolls they fancy lugs he makes, and each one is a piece of art, and they look awesome when fully chromed against an enamel background - similar to the Tommasini super prestige.
It wasn't far from mine in Wolves, I went over to Bridgo then via Cleobury Mortimer, lovely country side

Nice lug work, and he does a fixed / track version too

spoke to trevor today. He is a dude, not snobby at all about my general lack of money and wanting a frame for a fixed conversion. Said he'll 'roll out' the dent if it's possible for £15. don't think you can get a tyre changed for £15 at most bike shops. probably gonna go for the rourke n take it over there sometime next week. Might try getting the train to kidderminster and cycling with the frame on me back. Or might take the car. . . Aeronaught, want me to take your frame?

Orange + White Kooga being wheeled through the bullring yesterday.
Messenjah + bike in Sprocket Cycles chatting to another guy as I was buying some brakes. Didn't want to interrupt, so apologies for being rude and not saying hello.
Had a good chat with the dude who owns/runs Sprocket, hope I'm not misquoting, but he was saying he's got some rollers knocking about that could possibly be used for something in Brum if there was interest... go the impression he reads this forum too, certainly does spinwell?

Saw a green Langster being locked up by the Bullring at lunchtime - didn't have time to talk.
I had to go into the centre at short notice and grabbed the fixed (white Pompino) which is still in TT mode - 90" heading South into the wind on Pershore Rd on the way home was not nice at all.

^^^ Well AN it was work untaken as part of a bigger job - Had my Daccordi original paint and chrome stripped, then re-chromed and re-enamelled. There was a hefty dent in the top tube and all other framebuilders had quoted for a top tube replacement. The dent was rolled out at TJ's and the cost was minimal, if I can dig the bill out I will let you exact price, though it was somewhere in the region of £15 tops. A truely top guy he allowed my into his 'workshop' and showed me his various projects - including hand worked one off lugs etc
