Re:

A bit of fillet brazing on there.... and the matching fork, to be honest I dont know who exactly built the frame (if indeed they outsourced it to a reputable framebuilder), I does mention a surrey company on it though.

Re: Another British Build!

I was going to say it's a Roberts but i'm not that clued up tbh but looks interesting none the less ..

Re:

Easy.

By the distinctive down wrap and under tuck of the bubble wrap, and the distinctive double fold tape on the forks, that can only be a Michael Browning frameset.

Am I right, or am I right?
