Man can I do lazy. . . Jeff Lyon sent me this frame to bring down to VR 2002 but it arrived on the Monday after. I've kept meaning to make a picture page of it and now it's finally here. http://homepage.mac.com/monkeylad/PhotoAlbum10.html The pictures do absolutely no justice to the quality of the build and workmanship on this frame. This is in my top 5 highest quality frames I've ever seen, and is the number 1 "bronze welded" frame I've ever seen. Something to note is that he has the gussets built into the fork and seat cluster which is a technique I think Hilary mentioned recently. For me the most special part on the frame is the rear dropouts which are hand made from plate steel and then bronze washers are brazed onto them, very beautiful and very clean. If you want to know about Bill Philbrook check out these two old posts from the list. <http://search.bikelist.org/ getmsg.asp?Filename=classicrendezvous.10209.1496.eml> and <http://search.bikelist.org/ getmsg.asp?Filename=classicrendezvous.10209.1514.eml> or drop Jeff Lyon a line at <lyonsport@aol.com> enjoy everybody, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Santa Barbara, Calif.
