Cheers Cupcakes, got it. I keep having to sign in, is there a way to keep myself signed in?

Just spent an hour looking through all the pics, very nostalgic, I even remember building some of them. For general info I have retired now but I am perfectly happy to answer any questions any of you may have. I can date most of the frames going back to no 1, I have all the original order books alas not many order forms from before 2005 as they got destroyed in a flood at the Wallsend workshop the day before we moved out. I need to work out how to get the forum to notify me when there is a post on this thread so I can reply. My IT skills are somewhat less than my metalworking skills😁😁

That is one of my personal frames, why the colour scheme? Because I could

Yes, definitely one of ours. Frame no 65 in 1994. The centre punch mark below the 4 indicates that it was finished by Chris.

Hi Lampman
Looks like one of mine, if you can post a pic of the number on the bb I can confirm and give you a date of origin. I can supply decals if you want.

Frame designing jig thingy, modified by me to make it more flexible, quite useful if customer doesn't have a bike to use as a basis. It's a bit scruffy but would clean up.
Make me a sensible offer

The frame is equivalent to a conventional 21" seat tube so an average bod of between 5'6" and 5'9" ish will get a reasonable fit.

I speak from experience 😁 Many years ago in the early 80s I built a TT frame for my business partner Joe Waugh to ride the Team Time Trial at the Common wealth Games in Australia. 753, lugless silver soldered with tiny fillets (I did it mainly because "they" said it couldn't be done 😉) It looked that nice we clear coated it but 6 months down the line it started to rust and we had to paint it. Incidentally the team won the Gold

OK, no probs

Wanderer touring frame and forks. 18" seat tube (equal to 21" approx conventional) 21" top tube in Reynolds 525 with a full set of touring braze ons. New frame, never built up, unpainted but a clear lacquer coat. This was a frame I took to shows to illustrate the quality of the build so the clear coat is to protect it indoors. It is a totally inadequate coating for use as the frame will rust rapidly so offering it at £400 as is and sort out your own paint or I will paint it and fit a headset for another £100

Pair of BSC bottom bracket taps in good sharp condition on handles with spindle.
£80 plus postage. Surplus to requirements

As per the thread this frame is now sold
