...all the ones I've seen here, near the San Francisco bay area, were sold at Bicycle Odyssey in Sausalito. They've all had a variety of components, on them, some high end, some mid level. So I presume they were sold as frames originally. Tony Tom was the guy taking the orders and building them up for customers, but he's passed away. That's about all I can offer as information.

I've had three or four of them here, from different decades, and they all ride nicely.
