I am in the process of getting in touch with my old club, the De Laune when I ran across your inquiry into Pat Skeats bikes...I had one. I had Mr. Skeats build me a frame possibly around 1951 or so, his shop was on a back street between Brixton and Clapham. He was noted for his very fine lug work - filing the points down almost to the tube, my lugs were not as ornate as the pictures shown.
I emigrated to the USA in the early sixties and told my parents to sell the bike ...what would I give to have that bike today.
The only pictures that I have of the bike is of me racing in time trials and at Brands Hatch etc.
