The return of Bicycle Repair Man

[Bicycle Repair Man]

Now then people, after an absence of some years here I am again. I used to get notifications when posts relevant to me appeared but for some reason they stopped then life got in the way and I lost contact. I notice my original thread is still pinned so it must be of some use If I can be of any assistance to anyone feel free to ask. I have more or less retired now, l'm not doing any more framebuilding courses and only doing the odd bit of  building/repair work and painting just to keep myself off the streets although the farm keeps me busy, I seem to spend most of my time cutting grass.

Welcome back

[Canardly]

Good to see you back in this place.

[Robh]

Good to see you back in touch Dave.

[Butterfly]

Brilliant! Welcome back.

[eckagain]

Great to see you back Dave, and good to know all is well with you. 
By sheer coincidence (and it being sunny here in Scotlandland today), I had my first spin in ages on my gorgeous Joe Waugh custom 653 wot you built for me in late 1996.
I love that bike. So Thank You.

Good afternoon Dave!

[Tim Hall]

Ah, that is good news. Have you still got a stock of M Steel decals? I've got an M Steel frame that you did some work on some time back and could do with repainting.

[yoav]

As one of your frame building course alumni, nice to see you back. The frame I built on your course is still going strong.

[Bicycle Repair Man]

Thank you all for the welcome back. Good to hear that some early frames are still going strong and the course frame is as well
Tim Hall, alas no M Steel transfers left, you can probably get something from H Lloyd Cycles I may have some head badges but will need to delve into the depths of the filing cabinet to confirm. The term  "filing" implies  some order Ha!!! I tend to use the "pilot" system, pile it hear, pile it there 

[Nick H.]

I'm another alumnus! My frame is still beautiful. I'm looking at it right now! I'm sure the course will be much missed, but you have certainly earned a bit of freedom! I hope the livestock are behaving themselves.
