Hi Dale,
I met a guy last winter who used to build a few frames.
He told me that he never met GP Wilson but they had become pretty friendly over the phone.
When GP got sick he sent this guy a care package of a bunch of stuff that related to his DO business. I think he said there were production line samples of each stage in the forging process. He also sent him his remaining frame decals. I guess he built a few bikes too.
