Can anybody tell me if they know any frame builders in South Wales. I've been searching without any luck.

    I don't know of any in South Wales, but Argos are over the water in Bristol and have a great reputation.

    I think there's a tricycle builder somewhere in Pembrokeshire....
  • Yeah i found the tricycle builder. I know its a long shot but i want to find a local builder who will teach me to build.

    used to trade in the port talbot area.

    another option is to talk to a custom motorcycle frame builder - of which there are still quite a few around. They don't use lugs, but if you want to learn about tube profiling, joining techniques and the general mechanics of frame building then that might be an option. I know of a very good one in Llandre, near Borth (mid Wales) - but that's not exactly south. There are also a few still going in the Avon/Wilts area that I could put you in touch with...
