Bob Wade is still in the industry:

I think you've done it!

seat tube decal and top tube signature are both there they even use the same sleeved style seat tube

I'm gonna have to drop them an equiry

That's not a crack developing under the seat cluster sleeve, is it?

looks odd doesnt it, but I checked when I got the frame and its solid on the inside ..... phew

Massive smile in hope that we have finally found the builder of this frame
