The builder is Andy Newlands (Portland, OR), and his frames are quite nice indeed. He is pretty low volume, has been building from the early '70's, and yes, I would certainly consider him a 'KOF'. BYW, if you order a Strawberry, and then go visit, Andy will buy you a beer at one of the many excellent microbreweries in Portland.

Unfortunately, 60cm is too large for me, and "0" bids just points out, once again, what a strange venue is eBay!!
