That was Al Kreitler who made my rollers. The dog was named Killer. Al had a shop in Ottawa, KS up until his passing in 2001. Mountain Racing Products how has the rights and produces the Kreitler Rollers today.

My set has a sticker on the frame with Al's name and the Ottawa address. The phone number on the sticker starts with 913 area code. Per Wikipedia, Ottawa was in that area code until the area was split in 1996 by a new code defined for much of the area west of Kansas City. The change took place in 1997 thru 1998. So my rollers are sorta C&V, Al Kreitler orignals.

BTW, I put my stethoscope to the rollers yesterday to listen to the bearings. Smooth and quite and precise, even after 20 years. Well done.
