This website is about as close I get to interacting online relating to "social" media. I will try kicking the cobwebs off my f-book account and see if I can remain calm and collected while dealing with the f-book foolishness.Have you tried messaging them via their Facebook page?

Fascinating stuff. So much knowledge out there - not least on here!@3wheeler7 Thank for the continued info. At least we know Mick was present at the shop during 1984 and it supports the fact that the business was open until circa 1986.
Another comment:
(BigT @ CyclingUK; from July 2009) "A GOOD CYCLE SHOP in the NEWARK / NOTTINGHAM or LINCOLNSHIRE:
All of the decent bike shops in Newark seem to have closed down. You could try the Hawk Cycles place on the corner just down from the Castle, or Zone Cycle Centre (I've heard of it but never been).
Otherwise it's a trip to Nottingham or Lincoln, I suspect. I bought my tourer from Freewheel. Ask for Mick Cziorka (also known as Chalky) if you go there. He knows his stuff."
I know this is getting a little off tangent with Mick's history, but I figure we might as well attempt to consolidate the info regarding Henry Lloyd, Mick, and company. It might also might awaken memories in reference to this frame and the personalities surrounding it.
I am starting to think that this frame and the track frame may have been more for marketing/advertising than as a realistic reoresentation of what the shop supplied on a regular basis.
If this frame was built in '86 and the shop closed in '86 then it may have been a last ditch attempt to get their name some more recognition or it was made as a display frame.
