Mark Reilly.
When I was down there, they had frames still in the boxes in which they'd been delivered from Taiwan. Mark does custom stuff in steel. I don't know if he does any custom stuff in titanium, but I'm still (!) waiting for a pair of forks, & being told that the delay is in Taiwan.

Thompson?

He made my tandem. It says so in big decals (actually duplicates made by Argos for a respray). The seat-stays are embossed "Orbit", though.

The singleton is a mid-90s steel Dawes. Where would that be from?

Chronologically:
1. Raleigh trike - metal basher in Nottingham.
2. Raleigh  - as above.
3. Puch - Austrian metal-basher.
4. Philips - Midlands metal-basher.
5. Dawes - Brum metal-basher.
6. Giant - someone in Taiwan.
7. Hero - metal-basher in the Punjab (who mis-sized the seatpost clamp).
8. Merida - as 6 (or a robot?)

Numbers 1-5 have all passed out of my hands at least 10 years ago, so perhaps I shouldn't really count them. And no. 6 is separated from me by Iran, Turkey, the Balkans and the Carpathians!

Giant XTC presumably someone in China or Vietnam.
853 Saracen someone in UK or Far East
Saracen Kili ditto
Dawes Synthesis someone in West Midlands I expect

Who knows? Who cares? They are all nice bikes, altho' in terms of "best suited" to its intended use I guess the XTC wins!

Just my little joke.  Every time I spoke to Brian Rourke about the frame, delivery, paint or whatever and he said he would speak to Jason. I always imagined Jason was a little chinese guy in a backstreet factory  ;)

Some Geordie nerk, though it bears the name of Dave Yates.

A Frenchman.  I think Peugeot still made their own frames in the eighties.

Paul Donohue for the "main" bike - Audax and commuter

Fixer originally bore the name "Crown" before its first repaint in the late '80s.
