Dave Lloyd Frame Register

[NeilM]

Transfers I would look at H Lloyd Cycles, there are also some good traders on eBay.

Repainting depends on what you want, I have Argos Racing local to me, they can do a one colour respray or they can reproduce some of Dave more exotic designs, the the prices soon rise to eye watering levels as things get complicated.

I don't have manufacturing dates in the register, but if you are the original owner then there is really nothing I have that you don't already know, that said a frame made in early 1989 will have been one of the very first Dave made himself.

Re:

That one is interesting.

According to the register LL92581 is an Allsop frame made of EL / 753 and originally made for John Lillie.

Interesting frame with an interesting tube mix.

Re:

I noticed the tubes are different widths whats EL and whats ment by allsop frame

Re:

An Allsop frame will have the saddle mounted on an Allsop beam.

Look on page 9 of this thread and you will see a DL Allsop.

If yours does not look like the one on page 9 then there are two possibilities. Either it was later modified or you have the frame number wrong.

Re:

The numbering is always difficult to read on a painted frame.

However, there is nothing to say that the frame was not returned to Dave for a rebuild. I have a MTB here which has a 1994 frame number, but the geometry is set and the frame designed around a set of Pace forks that were not made until 1997. Also when found most of the running gear was also from 1997 with the exception of one wheel... the rear I think, that had clearly been installed much later.

With hand made steel frames, all things are possible.

Re:

LL92585 is a 1992 road frame made of Reynolds 753 and was originally built for Mel Bentley.

That sound like a nice, fast, light frame.
