They aint the only UK builder short of frame building staff. Gone are the days that the top British frame builders ran away to Canadia and the US to get work.

Thinking I could afford a custom made steel frame, I popped down to Roberts Cycles in Croydon about a month ago and spent a good hour in there yakking about frames and stuff. I was indicating that I would have loved to have trained to be a frame builder, but at forty five was too old. The guy I was talking to (forgot his name) said age wasn't really an issue, but it would be at least four years before they could let somebody put their name to an entire frame. Of course I was secretly hoping that he would offer me a job as an apprentice!

If I didn't have a mortgage down here, I'd consider applying for that Mercian job (the chance of getting it though...). I went to the University down the road in Nottingham too, so it would be a bit like going home!
