 Made-to-measure Frames
Click on small images to see larger views.  Updated 12.19.2009

      31 frames over a 12 year period have been built, hardly a big production, but when I have had the chance to build frames, I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately I just don't have the time these days, so at this time I am not accepting orders. Maybe I will partially retire and take it up again?
      Each frame was built to order and is as different as it's owner...I would urge any owners of "DBs" who happen upon this web page, please send pictures of their bikes to include here.
