Yes you are dead right, I have finally got the frame finished. Apologies, I have been posting to FB on my 30YearRecycle Thread and it's taken me a few days to work out how to get back into Retrobike .... LOL ... As well as completing my original Bryan Warnett, I have also "recreated" a Bryan...

Facebook Posting #7 - Reunited As Neil Sedaka pumped out “breaking up is hard to do” but what he didn’t say was that the making-up is something special that you really look forward to. And it felt good. Yesterday my divorce officially ended. I was reunited finally with my road-bike frame...

Facebook Posting number-four - Who was Bryan Warnett So, who is Bryan Warnett (aka the Bike Frame Builder)? Well, Bryan was your average everyday bloke and an everyday club cyclist hailing from Cardiff. Bryan was on the local club scene from the 1950’s occasionally riding his bike, as many did...

Facebook Posting number-three - Bonus Pedals arrive Bonus arrival today. With the lovely "Super Record Chainset" arrived a set of Campagnolo pedals that I wasn't banking on. Some great people out there who are really getting behind #30yearRecycle

Posting number-two to the 30-year-Recycle Facebook page - Some Equipment is secured Well, its been a pretty big night for the restoration with the successful purchase of some 1980s Campagnolo Super Record, Rear Mech, Down-Tube shifters and a Chainset, just like these fine specimens and all...

Posting number-one to the 30-year Recycle Facebook Page - The Introduction I am neither an author nor a literary wiz, having failed school level English. I am however, a private guy who is able to convey more in word than I can in speech. Facebook friends will be aware of the beginnings of...

No, I don't recognise it but I am fairly cetain it's not a Bryan frame. Bryan used straight lugs not fancy ones and he was never a chrome fan. Sure, I chromed the forks but never on the rear triangle. Bryan always also put BW on the seat stay wrap around or the fork crown. Bryan used to have a...

Thanks for your help with this. Yes, my brother telephoned me last night to let me know. He is already looking at ways to help and assist me with the rebuild as availability is going to be far easier in the UK than in dear old NZ at the bottom of the World here. Next step is to get Mum to...

Na, sorry, I knew Sally well, she used to ride a Team Issue "Ti Raleigh" on the track and never rode one of Bryan's frames. As Jon mention's however, I am fairly certain that Clare did have one of his at, some point in her career but I'm not sure for how long, my memory is being stretched here...

Yes Jon, I knew Clare, I beleive she's still around and still riding in South wales. she certainly was a Com Games rider and may have at one point, rode on one of Bryan's frames but didn't think she rode one of Bryan's frames for long? Not sure, but she wouldn't be yo difficult to track down.
