Neil Orell? There's also a 'Manchester Frame Builders' or something I think - Keep Pedalling gave me their details but I don't think they, or anyone I know has used them...

Young Will has a framebuilder friend too I think...

Is Neil orell now not approx 100 years old, with a similar turnaround time? Will give a ring anyway

Have you tried rollo, grim cycles?

70ish maybe. Have heard good and bad stories about his turn around, recently a guy at polo had a disc tab brazed to his fork for a good price and with Friday -> Monday turnaround. At the same time others have been waiting months...
Other options might be grim cycles or I think cantgoslo have been building frames or something recently... Or a threadless BB...

Threadless BB isnt really an option as i plan on doing Dunwich and back (possibly to manchester) on this frame later in the year, don't want the chance of it unscrewing on me.

Are they that unreliable? I haven't used them but the Velo Orange ones looked to be fairly well engineered.

I think they work fine.
How threaded are the threads? Is there enough material left to try chasing the threads without resorting to other stuff? It's probably worth giving it a go, Dip has the tools at pop-up to do it or most other decent LBSs will be able to help. Unfortunately I cannot help from A6.
I have stripped the threads out of my BB shell somehow, anyone know a manc or nearby framebuilder that could put in a sleeve and retap it?
