Well, apparently the guy (the brand bears his name) used to race and started a bike shop after his career mostly "building up" - whatever that means -
roadbikes for local amateur racers. Of course, it's impossible to tell from the photo's what kind of tubing he used... he may have just bought cheap asian
frames and put a few decals on them, of course!
BTW anyone know how to make dull paint like that shiny again?
