Dave Lloyd: Beez Neez - DONE - P5

Like the frame. Tasty workmanship.

Also that is the best name for a mtb.

Donkis Knob was bad taste. Dogs Bolox was just rubbish. I wouldn't like to own a bike with those names.

Love this one...thought you might like this article for your build thread

Thanks for posting that

Great looking frame, its going to be very pretty with all that nice XTR hanging off it!

The paint is amazing - it is very like the colour of a CATS WISKAS in a catalogue I have for Dave Lloyd.

Looking forward to seeing it finished

I LIKE IT

I Like the read of this article, it touches on the "confines" of U.K tubing supplies at the time.

I am very much looking forward to hearing how you feel this bike rides, and how much weight you will save by using a top flight component spec, as opposed to the LX spec shown in the review.

I have a feeling it will be quite some ride, especially if the choice of tyre you use, comes in at a width of 2" or less.

Wadsy, this is not the first time i have read a review, where frame builder has commented on the uphill struggle some had, in making its mark, in a market place dominated by imported frames.

I would be very interested to hear your thoughts, on this bike in comparison to an equivalent Spec/priced bike from a similar quality builder in the U.S. (perhaps Mountain Goat WTR for example).

looks great in the flesh mate,

fantastic paint, look forward to having a go when all built

I can't stop coming back to this thread and drooling over that paintwork.... nom nom nom...

Sourced a nos T-bone stem that will be painted to match the frame.....





Tange Prestige steel .....





Rubbed down slightly and carefully with scotch pad.....





New decals .....





These look will look good on the stem I reckon; from wanit.co.uk

I have the paint already. Special stuff to match the frame; silver undercoat with blue over then lacquer. Should look - I hope - it'll cost enough!


Cheers

That stem should look ace with the frame. I have a very similar Tioga stem and they are very nice quality and you can pick them up at reasonable prices.
