Sometimes I think the universe decides when it's the right time for a new frame to be ready.
We finally got this one across the line.
Tim's new frame.

Nice to get a mention on this map.
If I read correctly I can claim to be the only one making steel and aluminium frames in UK (and/or Ireland depending on your persuasion!) 😂👍
Ever wondered which bikes are still made in the UK and Ireland? Check my interactive map! thebestbikelock.com/bike-bra… @atherton_bikes @BromptonBicycle @Enigmabikes @merciancycles @pashleycycles @RourkeBikes @Donardcc @HummingbirdBike @StayerCycles @woodrupcycles
Definitely worth a listen...
Things I've learned about bike fitting...
Get the bike fit before you buy the bike, not after.
Fitting on an adjustable jig is better than fitting on your own bike, if your bike is wrong there is only so far a bike fitter can adjust it.

Repair work complete on this frame:
In the first picture you can see the lugs that I modified earlier compared to the original chromed lugs - I think that's a good match?
One custom frame done and ready for paint. This one is steel, disc brake and DI2 ready.
2 more in the boxed ready to start...
