I would take umbrage with this; I don't believe the Lloyd is 'not overly glam', by British standards it was specifically 'glam' and a little ostentatious (look at the other British high-end, low-unit manufacturers of the same periods paintjobs), and at the same time the Fat and the Yeti (ignoring the Team bike) were not massively boutique in the US, here yes, but not there.

Er, not really, Fats are far more common than the Lloyds, and I have seen numerous Fat framesets for far less than I understand Wadsy paid for his Lloyd.
