Ahem! Seriously though I'd love to get to Bones this weekend to check out some of the bikes but it's the wife's birthday on 15th and I reckon I've two hopes, Bob Hope and No Hope, BTW Bob's dead so that only leaves No hope :( Plus I want to build my '85 Haro Master now I have most of the bits, although the wife doesn't know about that either :2funny:
Are there any plans for another ride maybe a bit further south sometime soon?

I think it must be made of stainless steel too. ;D I went for a S&m Stricker frame. i haven't built it up yet, so don't know what the final weight will be. Terrible one barcode has a good reputation. Proper bikes also seem to have a good reputation
The site below had reviews on new school frames etc. have a look at it..

I've a frame in the shed, one of those Dan Galf ones that were originally made for Proper. It rode just fine, only reason I don't use it now is I was able to buy a T1 at a good price.

Wasn't he the bloke in the Lord of the Rings movies? :LolLolLolLol:
I did a google and came up with the impression he's like John Doe, a name given to somebody that no-one knows the real identity of. Not sure that really helped though!
RADHAB:
Proper Bike Co is owned by Carlo Griggs (i'm assuming you've heard of him?) and they are brilliant. The Houdini is my personal fave (I ride one) but i am told reliably by another member that the Proclaimer is really rather nice as well. There are a couple more members on here with Proper frames as well so dont just take my word for it!
