I've known Bill for many years living in Olympia, WA and I was the hard goods buyer for Olympic Outfitters/Bike Stand from 1989-1992. He does some really fine work and I've had the pleasure of messing around in his frame shop (no I didn't touch anything, really;-)

A friend in Spokane has a couple of Stevenson MTB's (one URT style, one custom hardtail for 3"+ tire widths) and my local Port Townsend riding buddy David has a very fast (looking and performance-wise) fillet-brazed road bike with a Stevenson custom stem.

He does excellent work, but you should be patient with the build time I've heard.

Jon
