Like Tom, I'm a great fan of Matt Assenmacher. Not only is he (or at least his shop) an underrated painter, as the proud owner of an early 80's Assenmacher (which he subsequently refinished) I also consider him a much underrated framebuilder.

I'd like to second Tom Adam's recommendation for the paint work of Matt
Assenmacher's shop in Swartz Creek Michigan. They are just wonderful to
deal with and I have had quality work from them every time. They are
sensitive to not using huge amounts of thick paint on a vintage bike and
their prices are terrific. They will often do just part of a bike, too, if
that is what is desired and called for. This is not too common.
I have had bikes that were repainted by nearly all the well known painters
and I have had flaws from some of them whose work was much more expensive
than Matt's...especially those done by CyclArt. I have never seen a paint
flaw in a bike done by Assenmacher.
