To alleviate the boredom and perhaps cause some humor, I'll list some excerpts from the Used Bike Buyers Guide. Please feel free to either email me off-list with additional information or corrections or, if you believe it is worthwhile to the list and On Topic, post to the list at your judgement. Here are the listings of framebuilders/makes, starting with A. Addresses and phone numbers were at one time current. May not be now. If you have new ones, send along. Under models, it should list model name, year, then tube material. It sometimes doesn't wrap well when I cut and paste. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
