Re:
Hi Andy,
Is it an older frame? The reason I ask is that 244 is too short a number, it should be something like LL94966.
The LL part can be confusing as it often looks like 77 upside down, which it probably is.
Dave was building bikes and selling then before he started building his own frames in 1988. I have a couple here both from the early to mid 1970's.
These frames tend to have shorter numbers and never have the LL prefix, I don't know who made them, I asked the guys at Argos in Bristol as I was told they made frames for Dave, but they told me they only made racing frames for Dave himself, not frames for him to sell. I am sure someone knows where the frames came from and certainly the two I have are very well made... just not by Dave.
