Looking for information on the Dekerf UK Ltd frames, think they are from around 2003 but not sure

Anybody got any info, test scans?

Thanks

i'll photocopy you one from WMB back in about 03, on monday.

Done by a mate of mine.

Absolutely loved it. said it was the only bike he'd replace his beloved indy fab with.

designed for 100mm fork. (think they're happy with an 80 though).

753 or 653 Reynolds (cant quite remember)

aimed at the uk market.

gusseted. crud catcher mounts (nice touch) dont know why more dont do this) loads of mud clearance. disc only. he swore it rode so well. remember him saying it was near perfect.

were quite a bit cheaper than a team SL SST 853 etc, at about £595 I think.

Thanks for that Gus

Just found a review in Issue 4 of Singletrack, knew I had seen a review somewhere

Ended up buying one a few months back and am only now really looking into setting it up, think it will be some Pace RC36's set at 80mm going by the ST review

More info would be good though if you get chance

I had one a couple of years ago and it's up there on the list of "Bikes I shouldn't have sold". Had a nice snappy steel feel to it.

It was reviewed by Singletrack Magazine http://magarchive.singletrackworld.com/?p=12#more-12. Not sure if you can get a back issue.

Here was mine, anyway.

Yeah, that's right. It was almost too nice to ride.

My mate tried to get me to buy it! but at the time I was set on getting a RM Blizzard. No regrets but, it does look very good. What's that colour called?

Silver?

Dunno - I bought it second hand.
