Doug- Yes that's the frame you did most of the paint work on. Today as I was cleaning up the shop and placing the CN jigs out of the way (for now, waiting on their next need) I was thinking how it was nice to have a frame just being available to test fit stuff/thoughts on. So the blue frame will hang around for a while more.

63ricket- I wonder if we met back in 1985. My memory of Rudy is faint. I didn't have any prefabricating involvement with the intended riders, Eddy did all that. Some customers did hang about the shop (I remember one who had been a Ranger type during WWII and had some stories. In his retirement he was driving for the coroner and offered to show us his "client" a few times) IIRC Rudy was a busy guy and didn't have much time to spend sitting still. Was he the guy who ran some local races? We had to store a lot of barricade and signage for someone who put on crits. If you ever wish to share your stories please feel free to include me. Andy
