He made completely new drop outs and welded them in for £80 which I thought was a bargain
If you ring him tell him Mark put you onto him

Feck ... that's an amazing repair and a great price too :shocked: I've got a feeling he's gonna plenty of enquiries now :daumenhoch:

I did warn him he might be inundated with calls lol,
His motorbike frames are a work of art too

Great thread Mark, exactly what I need. I have a alloy frame that has the same hacked dropouts as yours did (actually looks identical) and was wondering who could fix it for me.
Well done mate :4_17_5:
