Hi Zamboney! Check out threads "1976 Melton Touring Bike" and "1978 Melton Club Racer", both older threads in this Vintage forum (page 2 or 3 by now), for the information I've found on other Melton frames. I have a 27" frame he made for me in 1976 (pictured in the first thread above) and am trying to find out more about others with Melton frames. Have onoy found 5 or so. I've set up a database to track them. If you don't mind, please e-mail me with information on your frame, pictures, dates, where you purchased it, etc..
How did you come by it and how is it equiped? I'm currently restoring mine and am in touch with a couple of folks who have lines on replacement decals, etc.. Mike stamped the date on the bottom of the bottom bracket as a serial number. Is yours stamped? Some are not. Contact me at

Mike left Columbia, SC, and went on to work with Huffy and Raleigh ot design the '84 Olympic track bikes. He built some exceptional tandem frames for a while, and did some research with the first composite (graphite) frames. Otherwise, he's dropped out fo sight. I searched Google for "Mike Melton frame" and found a limited bit of info.
Let's see some pics!!
