I am pleased to offer to the public my limited production of racing and touring frames which are entirely built by me in Chester, Connecticut. My purpose is to offer a frame which will have a greater appeal than the finest Continental makes by giving complete attention to the frame as a piece of metal sculpture. Besides riding the bike, one of my finest pleasures is constructing a frame that is appreciated not only as a well balanced machine, but as a tailor made work of art.

FEATURED IN ALL FRAMES!
* Columbus tubing in the appropriate gauge to suit frame size and use.
* Nervex-Dubois short-point lugs with small cutouts, highlighted in contrasting colors.
* Ornamental reinforcements at both rear stay bridges and inside fork crown.
* Fully silver-soldered construction.
* Fluted-style seat stay connection.
* Finished in multiple coats of oven-baked Dupont Imron paint in any color.
* Appropriate geometry to suit racing or touring use, in sizes 50cm. to 65cm. Smaller or larger sizes available at extra cost.

SIGNATURE FRAME – A special edition featuring re-machined Campagnolo short road dropouts, initial-engraved investment cast fork crown, and special Columbus double-tapered seat stays. Brazed on fittings include Campagnolo cable guides on the bracket, specially finished water bottle lugs on the down tube, brake cable guides on the top tube, and Campagnolo gear lever assembly brazed and fitted to the down tube. A Campagnolo seatbolt and Super Record headset are supplied, installed. The use of an investment cast Cinelli bracket shell assures close tolerances and a precision bearing fit.

STANDARD MODEL – Standard fittings include Campagnolo cable guides on the bracket, water bottle cage lugs on the down tube, and a lever catch on the down tube. This frame, fitted with a Garagtte bracket shell, is supplied with a Campagnolo seatbolt and Record headset, installed.

Frames are normally supplied for road racing use with clearances for 120 mm hubs and short-reach brakes.

Because of varied ideas of what constitutes the touring and track frame, these models are offered by special request only. These will be constructed to suit particular requirements of the buyer, be it sprinting, weekend riding, or continental touring.
