"Johnson's focus and livelihood was discovered while working for custom framebuilder James Redcay in the late '70's after getting a degree in engineering. Framebuilding was, to Johnson, "too much work with too little return." One aspect of this job, however, did fascinate him: wheelbuilding. "
Cannot say how much of your frame was from Redcay's own hand but Mike Johnson's a personable guy so I am sure he would like to share some of his Redcay storys with you. I know I enjoyed speaking with him. He still paints and repairs frames in his shop.

> 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:)
