That's a bit sad and disappointing to hear. I grew up in the 70's when British frame building was still a massive cottage industry, virtually every bike shop had their own frame builder. The industry has been repeatedly written off in the face of foreign competition but every time I see a cyclist riding a modern British built steel frame, I am reminded that these skills have not been lost forever.
Still, looks like you'll have a great time.
So tell me, what do you hope to get out of your trip?
