Hi Dale. Interesting stuff this about Reg Harris, just read his extracts, particully like the bit about 'you can't expect a welder to become an expert in frame brazing overnight'

When I was at Bob Jackson's in the mid 70s I definately remember Danny [Foster] building a frame for Reg, I'm sure it was a road frame, but maybe it was a track frame?

Seems odd now that he would have had a frame made by Jacksons if he was embarking on his own project within the cycle trade?
