I have no first hand knowledge of Mr. Loveridge myself, but a Barry Loveridge is listed as a founding member of the Deal Velo Club in 1979.

Perhaps the club secretary can shed some light on the matter.

Rob, would it be possible to see some pictures of your new baby?

Although ive always been a keen road biker, i must admit i'm more of a getting from A to B man than a real avid enthusiast. Anyhow i have just recently acquired a very beautiful Reynolds 531c frame & forks built by someone called Barry Loveridge. I was told it is about 20 years old and although rusting in all the familiar places it is still in fine nick with some very smooth joints completely devoid of welding marks. After a lot of late night surfing I'm still none the wiser as to who mr Loveridge is and what the history of his frame building might be, its such a nice bit of engineering i'd like to know more. Does anyone have any clues? Thanks
