Built a limited number of very sweet track and road frames. Every one I've seen with stickers has been built out of 531. Some of the track frames (mine included) have very nice wraparound seat stays, and the lugwork is VERY nice. My frame sports Suntour track ends (way cool) but I've seen 'em with Campy too. I think he died around '97/'98. This is all info I've gotten from talking to people about it (I met a guy at the NAHBS who knew Ray personally thru the Houston velodrome), and is just second hand. Anyone knows more/better, please let us know.

Oh yeah, PICS?
