I worked at Open Air Bicycles in the late 70s and I knew Greg. He was one of the bicycle gurus that we younger mechanics looked up to and learned from. I saw many of the frames that he built over the years and they were all well built and highly regarded. He would come into the shop occasionally, and I would discuss with him what my ultimate frame would be like. He was prepared to build it exactly the way I wanted, and was ready to accept a deposit. Being a student, I never had enough money, but I always intended to go get that frame built. I heard through the grapevine that he had passed away and I was saddened for the loss of my friend and the end of that dream. As you can tell, you have a very special frame from a very special person.
