> Alan was typical of many UK builders that don't get much press overseas. Custom frames were the norm and an off the peg frame would only be suitable for a hack bike or if you had a sponsors bike. The more obscure builders were the most desirable to get the latest and fastest that no one else had.
Welcome to the list Greg. I love hearing stories about obscure builders.
There's got to be so many over the years but due to various reasons their
work is lost and forgotten. The history of these small builders is as much
or more interesting than that of the big builders like Bianchi, Raleigh,
Colnago, etc. If you have more info about other builders that you hung out
with, please share it.

I would have to wait for an opening
I wonder if this was Richard Sachs, Peter Weigle, Ben Serrotta, Chris Chance or somebody else?
