Hi Andy,

I was talking to my 25 yr old daughter about my "old bicycle," picture attached. I explained that I got its frame in 1973 when I lived in Missoula, Montana, when a car ran over my Raliegh Grandsport. I used resultant insurance to purchase the Strawberry frame and then attached most of the Raliegh parts, and that is what I still use. I had heard about your new company and frames from my roommate who was a bike enthusiast.

I repainted it in the late-80s and, since it was pre-internet , I made up my own version of your company logo applied with letter transfers.

Anyway, probably because life is busy, I never thought to look your company up on the internet until I talked about the bike yesterday.

I saw your vintage folder of your website and thought you may want to see one of your old frames is still doing well. The frame was purchased in the fall of '73, but could have been an earlier date.

It was great to see that your company is peddling strong. Thanks and Cheers, Jim

Cousin Donald's frame is back in the Marchetti fixture to attach the rear wishbone triangle. The head and seat lugs have previously been brass brazed (Reynolds "853" air hardening steel gains strength after brass brazing) and cleaned up a bit (finish filing yet to come). The next six photos are of Donald's frame.
