Reynolds Frame Builder in the UK - 1999 Kona Explosif Project

[Trebz]

Hi all

Can you suggest a quality and fully registered Reynolds frame builder in the UK please? I remember there being one in North Links or Yorkshire somewhere who is a Reynolds specialist but I can't find one.

I have a plan to convert my 1999 Kona Explosif into a Humu by having a Reynolds frame builder add the second frame tube in Reynolds 853. I'll then start thinking about paint work etc.

I'm not sure what to call the hybrid when it's built though, maybe a 'Hexplosif' or a 'Humuplosif'.

If I manage to pull this off it will be THE coolest Retro thing I will have ever done hehe. See my Work Bike below, soon to be converted into a Humu.

P2 TB forks
Single speed
White Industries front and rear wheels
White Industries chain set
Etc

TIA

Interesting, will be following this one.

Well it's not looking good so far. I've been in touch with three frame builders and not one of them can help or is interested. Odd.

The search continues.

Danson67 is a member on here and has done work for me and others on this site. I believe he is in Staffs.

We did a similar conversion for a customer a few years ago, added an additional Reynolds 631 top tube to his Singular to give it a more Klunker-esque aesthetic

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Can you PM me with a quotation for the works please.

That actually looks pretty cool.

@danson67 is the chap that also fixes the Pace bikes (like your bb crack...), looks after the pace serial database and has/is still remaking RC30 original fork legs
