Glenn Erickson of R&E (Rodriguez & Erickson) Cycles in Seattle, long time builder of beautiful and ornately carved lugged steel frames. Also noted leader of European bike tours. Picked up this titanium bike by Erickson but find little history on his website. Did Erickson build these frames in house or outsource them? Bike was a custom order with S&S couplers in 2006. Maybe too new for C&V, but R&E date to 1973.
