He worked out of Hemet and what I recall was that in the early 70's he was making and selling his own investment cast vertical dropouts. Pretty unusual for the day. I think that Bicycling might have even had a photo of his dropouts. Someone out there with less fog in their brains than me might remember better. The summer of love really took it's took on my hard drive.>
I remember those dropouts. Stainless and as minimal as can be. Art Stump used some on a few frames as I recall, and there were a couple of others as well...
