Subject: [CR]CR: Irish framebuilders?

Hi all, New/delurked member David Beach's posting and Jackie's vacation plans got me thinking about Irish framebuilders of the classic era. More specifically, were there any? I've looked but not found much. I'm sure there must have been a few, probably in the North, but even in the South, too. I'm sure most Irish cyclists got their bikes from English or Scottish builders. Any info? I'd like to see an Irish lightweight (and don't offer me Enya tickets or tell me to watch Olympic boxing). Maybe our Caledonian friends know something? I've been through the Great Britain & Ireland listing in the CR site, but I don't recall seeing any Irish builders. Did I miss something? Thanks! Dennis Ryan, Louisville, KY Irish in name, face, & (probably) disposition, but a mongrel Amurcan and proud of it, too
