Subject (Classic Rendezvous) Ian May Cycles

Shaun,

I'd never heard of this particular builder but according to Google, the shop still exists at:

Ian May Cycles

170 Bebington Road Bebington Wirral Merseyside CH63 7NX

Tel: 0151-645-0550

Business Type: Cycles & Accessories

No web-site address is listed However if a telephone call or letter lists no response, I do have (distant) relatives in that part of the UK who might be persuaded to check the address to make sure the premises is still there. The shop might still have info on your frame?

Sounds like a classic ride
