While the 1993 and 1994 Paramounts are examples of this, Waterford also built BMX bikes for Standard Byke Company during its first year gaining expertise in TIG-welding, and subsequently earned other customers including Rivendell, Heron, Salsa, and others.
So, my 1995 1200 is probably a very early example. How long was Waterford using Reynolds 753? I was under the impression Reynolds didn't supply anyone with it unless their welders/brazers were certified.
