Hello. Acquired a La Moure frameset last week. Mitch LaMoure has been building steel bikes since 1982. Currently in Roseberg, Oregon. Here is a link to his website:

I'd never heard of him before. Does he qualify as a KOF?
The frame I now have was built in 1992 for a racer. LaMoure was working in Washington state at that time. Nice lugs, outstanding mitering evident in the BB shell, good but not great lug finishing, ok paint work. All in all, a very nice frameset.
Here's a link to photos of the frame for your enjoyment.
