They used to , I shall find you a link for them , I have also been using the RRP Neoprene Mudguard thingy on the front fork to good effect . Links coming right up

Yeah get mudguards if you don't like picking sh*t out of your teeth. I've got some armadillo ones that seem to do the job, they were only like £5 or so, not a lot.

it amuses me when people have the really cheep full suss bikes and they ride off down the road and on every pedal stroke they bounce up and down about 5 inch or so

Phil, you could also check out "Evans" cycles, I think Temple Street central Bham, Had a brief look in there yesterday had several good spec sale offers.
Just an altrenative thought if H,frauds cant supply.

Sod that , wrap a load of self amalgamating tape around the chainstay , far quieter , absorbs way more damage , is about £3 a roll and you can use it to protect other parts of the bike such as in transit . What I would suggest is some "Copter Tape" on the bottom part of the downtube , this protects that paintwork and mutes the sound of tiny stones jingling off the frame
