This is my favorite bike shop. I found and stole this photo off the net. This is Ernest Csuka of Cycles Alex Singer doing his thing. On the back wall is a small very old lathe. I posted this on the Practical Machinist site and the lathe was identified as a very old Pittler, this is what many of the Singer braze ons are fabricated with.
