Anyone heard of "Wolf Cycles"?

...someone local has an interesting frame for sale. Only logos I can see in the pictures are "Wolf" and what looks like it might be "Wolf Cycles", and a signature...that might be "John Simcack" (?)

It has internal cable routing, and appears to be fillet brazed...

Anyone heard of it? I can't find anything on Google... Maybe a (very) small local frame builder...?

A SoCal guy from early 80's. Check with Brian Bayless. Seems like they knew each other. Riding buddy of mine got one of the first Wolf bikes when John was selling them by going to bike shops with a sample. and it was just a primo build.
You might get more info from the SoCal board

Thanks for the info...I emailed Brian last night, and just heard back from him.

"...Wolf Cycles were made in Huntington Beach, CA by my friend and framebuilding student John Sencak."
