Thanks, but got an automatic email back saying "Currently the waiting time for a new custom build is 2 years, and I am not taking on any small repairs."

Can anybody recommend where I can get a frame repair done in the North to North West London?

Link fixed, thanks.

Is this dent fixable? It's been like this for a couple of years now.

How do they fix it? Do they cut it out and replace it with a brass bush of some kind in or do they pull it out fill it?

Where do you recommend getting it fixed in (preferably North or NW) London?

I'm looking for a frameset for a bike to rebuild and convert to belt drive, so a bit of money will be spent on it.

Do you think this frame for £60 is good enough for that type of rebuild or should I be going for something a bit better:

It's straight and no dents.

Thanks guys.

Is Viking 531 frame a good frame for converting to single-speed?

Maybe along with one of these to convert it to belt drive:

I want to start building a single speed with a belt drive. Any pointers? Can I buy a ready-made frame (if they're out there they're not that obvious)? What's best way to retrofit? Are their known frames that work well with belt drive retrofits (incl. for instance larger chainring etc.)?

Ugh, so annoying. Hasn't worked.
