I'll add that Recht had a printing or printing ink business in Jersey City, NJ that was, I presume, the basis of the money to dabble in bike building operations. So the factory was the east coast Medici outlet.

Recht, the owner of Medici Bicycles. I think there was such a thing as
Rexart Cyclery, but I don't know for sure. For the most part, the NJ address
was the East Coast outlet for Medici, since it was where Bill lived. Beyond
that, nothing related to the building of the frames happened there.
