What can I say that hasn't already been said. The biking world has lost another faithful servant.

Frank did a lot for me, inspiring me to continue learning to ride after a failed test result. If it wern't for him I would have sold my bike along time ago.

Ill never forget the summer of 2004 when Frank, Hassy and I went bumming round cornwall "just because". (Hassy and I were in a car!)

Thoughts and Best Wishes to Jane and his family.

I only met frank once on a rideout, I remember chatting to him on the Torpoint ferry - sort of guy who could never fail to leave an impression. Friendly and warm from the off.

I'm glad those who never met him realise that Frank was a very special man.

We can never manage to tell you just how we all respected him, but I never heard a bad word about him.

There aren't many well know people you can say that about.

Only actually spoke to Frank a couple of times, but very saddened by this tragic turn of events. Deepest sympathy to his family, and indeed his 'extended family' here on this site.

Can't believe it, so sureal... totally gutted, lost for words :cry:

The loss of one is a loss to us all; Frank was a one-off whose friendliness, kindness, honesty and integrity gained mine and others instant respect. You will be dearly missed my friend.

R.I.P. Frank you'll always live on in our memories.
