Steel Road Frame Builders in South East UK?

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I have an aging Klein Quantum Race with 7700 kit that is way past it's best, everything with a bearing now needs replacing and the top tube has a massive ding in from a tumble a couple of years ago.

I want to get a custom steel frame built and finish it myself with a 6600 triple group and parts. It'll be used for commuting and occasional century rides and figured this would be a good combo for that, the Dura Ace consumables are lot more expensive than Ultegra and the Ultegra is a little bit more robust all-round.

My q is, can anyone here reccomend any frame builders in the South East of England? I have found Dave Yates, but don't want to trek all the way up there to get measured and choose the colours.

thanks

Simon

SimonThere are loads - try the big ones first like Condor and Mercian. The chaps at cyclingweekly forums will be able to give more detailed advice.
