Frame tube sets

I'm going to have a little spare time soon and have been eyeing up Rob English's TT bike recently. I'm handy in a shed, but where do you buy your tubes from? I don't need anything expensive, just something I can turn into my first bike without breaking the bank.

Repairing a Vitus bonded frame?

Justin Burls is tucked away in a quiet corner of Harwich. His background in classic vehicle restoration and metal fabrication have equipped him with an unsurpassed eye for detail, making the transition to bespoke frame building a surprisingly easy one. He still has his first frame-a TT mount built for his own sporting his trademark, super-smooth fillet brazing and deep, luxurious blue livery.
