Materials
I use standard or oversize CroMo steel tubing from True
Temper, Reynolds, Columbus or KVA. Stainless Steel
Reynolds or KVA tubing is also available.
I prefer Henry James lugs, bottom brackets, fork crowns
and Stainless Steel dropouts which are among the finest
in the world, although several other brands are available.

Paint
I utilize liquid paint to achieve a spectacular finish that will be durable and beautiful. Includes
hand-etching, primer, sanding, paint, decal application, clear, more sanding, and more clear.
As a result, the decals disappear into the clearcoat - meaning a perfectly smooth surface.
I take great care in preparing the frame & lugs prior to painting. I strongly believe that paint
should not be utilized to hide, mask or cover-up. My frames look incredible before any paint is
applied. I use paint as a means to protect, personalize and hold the decals. Nevertheless,
the spectacular paint jobs on my bikes are among the finest in the world. Just don't forget the
marvelous creation underneath the paint...
There are unlimited color options, color combinations and styles. I work with each client to
design the perfect paint design scheme for their bike.
Optional custom painted decal / logo / symbol / emblem designs, utilizing airbrush or spray
mask techniques available.

I treat the inside surfaces of each frame and fork with a long lasting protective sealer in a
series of two applications, preventing oxidation, and ensuring a long life.
