There are some interesting Brit frames on ebay at the moment. 1st. Dave Davey this shop became George Brooks after Dave sold out to work in a warehouse to earn more money than he could make from the bike trade. Sadly some shelving came down on him in the warehouse while he was working there and left him badly crippled. I seem to remember that he died not long after this tragic accident. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DAVE-DAVEY-FRAMESET-HARINGGAY-211-2-NERVEX-LUGS_W0QQitemZ6565975928QQcategoryZ420QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem 2nd. Paris not sure if this is bilaminated as it looks conventional lugs to me, sure the real frame building experts will know on the list.
