"The Classic Aesthetic: USA Bicycle Builders Who Continue The Tradition." I nominate Bill Davidson frame maker for inclusion on the Classic Rendezvous web site under the above heading. Bill has been building excellent steel lugged frames since early 1970's. Go to his web site and take a look for yourself. Davidson bicycles outside of Seattle are perhaps not has well known as the other USA builders we list but just ask Glenn Erickson another Seattle frame builder that we do have on our list about Davidson's bicycles frames. I had the wonderful opportunity to work door next to his shop for two years. Having know Bill since 1970's and followed his career in frame building it was a treat to talk to him about the care and skill he brought to frame building. His lugs are in my opinion the best manufactured. His painting of frames is par none. I ride a Davidson mountain frame and marvel at it every time I ride it. So consider adding Davidson frames to our web site. Thanks Charles Nighbor, Architect http://www.davidsonbicycles.com/
