Picked up the frame from Lewis the other day. Very friendly, very quick turnaround, great guy.
I also needed some holes in the headtube filling. Lewis originally offered to do it but then on closer inspection of the frame decided that with the tools he had, he wouldn't be able to make a good job of it (Honesty appreciated. I think he is used to slightly more "industrial" jobs). Anyway when I went to pick the frame up, he took me across the industrial estate to talk to another welder who had more delicate equipment and persuaded them to do it for me then and there. Lewis then took the frame back and evened up the sandblasting to give it an even finish beneath the powdercoat. All in all I took up most of an hour of his time, all while I know he was in a hurry to get to another job. £30 all in (welding and blasting the frame and forks). Thoroughly recommended.
Oh and he's based here. Unit 11 I think.
