    I made 31 frames and when I had the chance to build, I really enjoyed it. Each frame was different and had it's own "personality! Unfortunately operating cycles de ORO has left me no spare time, so at this time I am not accepting orders. I would urge any owners of 'DB' bikes to send pictures of their bikes to include here.
