Hey ya'll, been yearning for a nice steel road bike for quite a while now, and I would LOVE to have a custom bike, just to have a custom bike, and Bernie Mikkelson is in my area (and my dad actually knew him when he starting making frames in the 70's. One of my dads friends actually had one of the first three he built). Anyone have any opinions? I have heard mostly good things other than he can be slightly difficult to communicate with since his stroke (and my dad said he was an odd guy before too). Anyone have a Mikkelson and some photos?

Thanks!
