Dave Lloyd Frame Register

[Andy_W]

Hi Neil,
I have a small 650c Dave Lloyd - and from what I can make out the frame number is 951183 - any info on it in your book? I think there is a name on the top tube but it has been stickered over, and in any case, I suspect the frame has been resprayed since it was originally built so this may not be the original owner's name. Attaching some pictures.
Thanks in advance,
Katie

Just looking at this one, the decals look consistent with the way I placed them, particular location, and even the fork Reynolds stickers are exactly where I put them...I'd guess original..

Hi there, was built in 93, and 776 is the number built so far, I was the painter but can't remember the frame in question, maybe if I seen the finish would jog my memory..

Not sure how many parts were the original ones. First pic is how I found it out of the shed. Then I converted it to a single speed. The campagnolo euclid brakes seem to be around £300 on eBay so thinking of selling them to get some more practical brakes and a better crankset. Any suggestions?

I have today received a little pocket book that I bought on ebay, it is the register of all frame made by Dave Lloyd starting in 1988 (only two frames numbers) and finishing in 1999.

There is not an awful lot of detail of each frame, only the frame number, the frame type, the person or company ordering and the tubing it is made from, but for a DL nutter like me it is gold.

If you have a bike with an LL frame number, and it is apparent from the register that he made a LOT of frames for other businesses, then drop the number in here and I will post up the information I have.

Total production appears to be 1740 frames, however there are a lot of alloy and carbon frames shown in 1998 and perhaps this was a factor in why production effectively stopped that year, with only seven frames in the register for 1999.

As I run through the register I will pick out notable changes, like the first ATB - LL89008 which Dave appears to have made for himself, the first Concept 90 - LL90173, the first CATS WISKAS - LL92531 and the first BEEZ NEEZ - LL92622.

More as I discover it.
