Joe Waugh bikes.

[peetee]

I understand that Joe Waugh and Dave Yates branded frames and bikes were, back in the 80’s, sold via M Steel Cycles in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. I have read that Dave Yates is credited with having built bikes with both names but his output must have been quite something if he is responsible for all of them.
Is a Waugh a Yates or were there other frames builders assisting him?

I don't know the answer, but I was measured up for mine by Dave himself and vaguely remember being asked which decals I wanted... DY/JW / MS. What I don't know is if serial numbers are different for the 3, or if they all just go sequentially regardless of the name on the frame. Probably best just to ask Dave!
