Rick Green one of the proprietors started the frame building business and was a master craftsman. Anyway here are some photos of probably the last frame I built there which I made to ride in the pursuit events. I think I rode on it at the 1979 Nationals and Pan Am Games and it's been travelling around with me collecting dust ever since. Reynolds 753 Superlight tubing (a ***** to braze). Old campy cranks and pedals with toestraps! no clipless pedals and disc wheels back then. Nice light bike for a steel frame. Can't remember what happened to the seat and post and handlebars, must have ended up on another bike. Sorry no decals. The ones on this bike are probably as good as any around....
Nice looking work. I can't believe you haven't had an urge to ride it during all these years.
