Ted James is not only one of the most talented framebuilders in the UK, but one of the nicest people I've ever met. Cheers Ted.

It is so lovely to see a custom frame builder still doing beautiful work, although I could have watched a two hour film just of the welding! Well done to Ted and the whole GMBN team, on producing such a gorgeous frame and film.
