From what i understand they are actually English made (could be wrong though) and i know exactly how your mates frame looked....they are very rare now so i think would command a good price!

One of my current builds, lovely twin top UK freestyler.  Gonna give it a bit of a custom paintjob so watch this space!  Picked it up on eBay a few months back as a complete bike needing a little tlc  :smitten:

nearer Bridgnorth, think it's like empty field area now, near dog inn and davenport arms, it's about 12/13 miles from me. If you zoom in on the original black and white advert from bitd you can see the their address minus postcode

I can't see your picture but I think I recall the one your on about because I nearly went for it but my better half would have murdered me ;D

Was it white with blue alloy hub tuffs on it, blue tuf neck sprocket? I could be wrong! it was on for a few weeks and he kept dropping the price. I was so tempted >:D Damn you woman!!

Yep thats the one!  A few nice parts as well but had to send one of the tuffs back as it had a huge chunk out of it that wasn't mentioned.  Repowdered now in white but gonna get the spray cans to it as well.  Women eh!!

Cool 8) you got it for a tidy price, I've got three rebels, (hence why my lady would kill me if I got a 4th!), one practically nos in primer, not a mark on the dropouts! that's going white very soon as I've already got a decal set waiting to go on. I can't wait to see yours done man, I'm a sucker for the double top tubes! I'll keep an eye out for your progress :daumenhoch:
