Hello List,

Sir Anthony Beek did build frames. Unfortunately, Tony no longer builds or paints anything to do with bikes. I tried to convince him in the spring to take on a job for me, but he declined. Painting for film studio work, and dental office equipment pays much better. :-(

He has refinished 2 bikes for me and they were both sublime. He is also a precision machinist. If he can't find it, he makes it. I wish Tony would build his own frames. He has that gene in him.
