Been a West Yorkshire lad I should really be looking at one of these for my next bike but the wife may have something to say

Very nice looking! I've had a quick scan around their site, but no real info on prices. Have you had any quotes from them for this frame/bike?

I did a rough enquiry last year for one making up in a CX/gravel style and think it was around £3-3.5k hand built steel frame. See if I can find the email

 

[rideswithmoobs]

Its just been said to me, "yes of course you can save up and get one....on 2 conditions"
The first was price & the second was that I go to Leeds to collect it and have to ride it back home the same day via Skipton, Gargrave, settle, ingleton and into Lancaster. No overnight stop at mi mams either or getting mi dad to drive me back
Well I see that as a yes then best get seriously training

And the prices are.......

track’ frame be it for the track or the road starts at £795 for a Reynolds 631 tubed frame and fork, painted any colour you like [additional panels extra] VAT to be added.

Add a further £90 for Reynolds 725 tubing and again a further £90 for 853 tubing.

Does that seem reasonable for the frame. I thought for a hand built frame it was good, maybe @biggs682 could offer some advice on Reynolds frames ?

That is 2-300 pounds different from my locally respected builder who I am strongly trying to going to see.

I am fairly sure Biggs has a frame from him.

Local is best, I did look at Rourke but feel if I do get a custom build it should be from a Yorkshire builder

That seems very expensive for just the frame. On another thread here somebody said they paid £1200 for a Kona (complete bike) with 853.
