The Redcay shown at the below link was mine, but I sold it. When Michael Jo hnson of Wheelfine Imports in NJ painted it for me, he told me that very few Redcays were originally painted with two colors. Michael was an original p ainter for Jim Redcay. Dennis offered two with two colors this morning. An d, while there are a few modern touches, I'm very appreciative of how Dennis built them. I own two Redcays now and if the stars and moon align right, I 'll be even with Joe BZ's four by the end of the month. Lou Deeter, Orlan do FL

Great, my size and my bike budget is bust! Oh well, I have four Redc
ay's already. Anyway, if someone is thinking of a new classic for
spring, these sound like excellent deals. If Redcay put them togethe
r, you will also find that the integration and wheels will be very goo
d also. One caveat is that Redcay's are true customs so pay attentio
n to all the dimensions, especially the top tube, because Jim did ev
ery design from scratch based on the customer's needs. Look for rust
bubbles under the paint on the top tube also.Joe Bender-ZanoniGreat N
