From what I've been able to gather, you're OK on the East & West coast mainlines if you reserve 2 spots, but pretty much stuffed otherwise..

It's Kevin Winter.

I've emailed to ask, but they said built in the North-East while Dave's now based in Lincolnshire. Kevin Winter would be my best guess, as he's the only NE framebuilder I'm aware of these days.

No longer DY-built, but Joe Waughs are back in production: http://www.msteelcycles.co.uk/joe-waugh-frameset/

All the camping options were available when I booked at lunchtime.
I'm in again for the 3rd time, and intending to ride bike #3 too.. just the 55 miler this time though, as Ms Anagrama is also on board for 2016 and I'll only have 2 flip/flop gears to get around on..

Anyone care to have a stab at the identity of this 50's road/path? Came to me via HilaryStone who described it as having "Mercian-like features" which it kinda does, but nothing uniquely so.
The ridged/double-fluted seatstay caps crop up on mid 50's Mercs but are also a Holdsworth catalogue option c.57-58, amongst other examples. I'm yet to see a good match for the fork crown though, which is a bit plain by Mercian standards, and the horizontal brake bridge would tend to rule out the Holdsworth-family.
Frame presumably 531, lugs Nervex Super Legere. Looks to have been originally black, but there's no trace of original decals.
The complete lack of a frame number makes me suspect it's destined to remain a mystery, but I'd love to be proved otherwise...
No idea I'm afraid - came as just as much a shock to me too. I understand the shop was shuttered as of yesterday morning.
I'm gutted - they've always been my go-to LBS for anything I can't sort myself. Had been meaning to pop along and pick up a couple more of their branded water bottles too..
