Hi,
I used Franklin Frames to repair and repaint my Serotta a few years ago. I think he (Jeff?) did an excellent job on both counts. Franklin Frames does repairs and painting for other builders. I think that's how the company makes most of its money. The Franklin framesets that are built in Newark, Ohio are very nice, but it was my understanding that FF concentrates now on repairs and paint, often sub-contracted work from other U.S. builders and distributors.
