"How did you treat the broken derailleur hanger? And, may I ask T, which Kool Stops fit the Universal holders?"
Painter was able to braze on the bottom eyelet of the hangar which was broken off cleanly. Will have to pull out the Kool Stop package and see which model I put on there
"can you comment on Franklin, are they good to work with?"
I have gotten to know Jack Franklin over the last few years as he is painting my 3rd frame for me and repairing an issue on a fourth and I would consider him a friend, I enjoy vintage bikes,he paints and repairs them and he enjoys craft beer, I am a brewer by trade! He is very typical of frame painters I have met, a little hard to get a conversation going with and can take a long time getting the job finished. I just never let myself get in a hurry, don't push the issue and I am happy with the results.
