Welcome to Dave Yates Cycles & Engineering


July NEWS..............

  • If you are thinking of placing an order for a new frame you need to plan well ahead. Our current lead time is 12-14 weeks from receipt of deposit.
  • We are now offering a book ahead system for repairs, renovations and re-sprays. If you do not want to be without your frame for very long you can book a slot for the work to be carried out. A deposit of �50 is required to reserve a slot. Turn-round time is then 2-3 weeks. Please contact us by email or telephone (01526 343322) to check slot availability.

FRAMEBUILDING COURSES - CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

"Thanks to Dave's teaching background and frame building experience, his course creates the perfect opportunity for you to build your own frame to whatever geometry you wish, regardless of your hand tool experience you will end up with a perfectly good frame. If you don't know what frame geometry you want Dave will sort it out for you.

With Dave's help and guidance I can't imagine how anyone could fail to make a really nice frame for themselves.

The hardest part is deciding on the colour scheme!!"
