[#1082217]

Have a full custom Chas Roberts Genesis 853 that's my favoured bike, next year I would quite like to add something equally as unusual.
Any suggestions? Been looking at Strong Frames, DEAN Titanium, Potts even Mountain Goat... 😉

climberjohn has a Jones, though I get them I don't think I could actually buy one!

Penny Farthing, now that's an idea. Wonder how it would fare at Coed y Brenin?

Looking at the width of the tyres on it quite well. Could do with a noble or two though.

Niche frames in the UK.

Eriksen in the UK none that I know of.

Blacksheep in the UK. Used to be two (both mine) one got sent back.

Jones frames in the UK at least ten. (one mine)

IF franes in the UK loads.

Wolfhound frames in the UK none. But I know of one UK resident that's at the front of the waiting list. (if only he'd sell me his place on the list) 😉

Martin are you listening? 😯

Anyone remember what the name of the framebuilder that had an Armadillo as its logo?

Just been looking at DeKerf's new site, some nice stuff there too!

Get a Giant/Trek/- no one will admit to owning one on here!

Even though they are the DB and cost a good bit less than boutique foolishness.

Eriksen have a uk distributor/importer so i'd be surprised if there's none in the country.
Potts would be near the top of my list.
