> The owner Mike Johnson at one time built frames for Jim Redcay.

I always thought that Jim Redcay was more of a one man type shop with a fairly limited lifetime output of under 1,000.?. If the above is correct then does anyone know how many frames were built under his name not by him or how many frames were made total? Just curious if my Redcay is a real Redcay:)

If Richard Sachs or Brian Baylis hired me tomorrow to push a broom, and evenntually after several years I was actually brazing would they still be a Richard Sachs or Brian Baylis frame?

Of course, I am not qualified to push a broom so that is just a dream:)
