Does anybody know what happened to the people from Individual Bicycles
who made the Cheltenham Pedersen in 1985/6? Did any of them go on to
form other bike businesses? Did anybody buy up the remaining stock when
the company went into receivership? I am trying to buy some spares to
restore mine. Specifically, I need a replacement saddle-post assembly
that slides into the twin seat tubes and has the anchor position for the
saddle-springs.

Alternatively, can anyone recommend a frame-builder in the Westcountry
who would know about the bike and could do some repairs?

Argos in Bristol have a good reputation.

Last time I delved, I think I turned up a company somewhere that the
man behind Individual Bicycles was running. If memory serves it is
some kind of design company.

Ah. <www.individualprojects.co.uk>

I emailed him about getting a replacement head tube decal but didn't
get a response.

If you've got the old one, perhaps a small metalworking firm could
help? Or the DT department at your local school?

No idea, sorry.

I understand very little of what's being discussed
but for some reason it's fascinating.

Thanks. I spoke to them and they have recently repaired a Pedersen,
oddly enough with a similar fault to mine.

Thanks for that, I had forgotten his surname. He has been good enough to
reply to my email, although he is unable to help.

Mine will have to be peeled off if I'm sending the frame to Argos for
repairs. If I'm careful I might have a good enough decal to use for copies.

I was thinking about enameling a badge for my bike, instead of the
decal. I'll ask him if he has any objections to my replicating the logo.
