Lauer ist Claus Lauer, a famous german framebuilder who built a lot for german Pro's. He ist still alive but not building anymore, as far as I know he lives in a nursing home. Many members of the german national team rode his frames back than on the track as well as on the road, he built exclusively with Columbus tubing. I had brief contact with his girl-friend once talking about a certain frame an his markings, that is why I know all this. He and his work is highly regarded by the german collectors. I have a nice SLX-tubed bike which features a unique rear brake cable routing in a separate channnel under the tob tube. There is a groove in the underside of the TT where the outer brake cable runs through, very elegant. Thr fork crowns always are engraved CL for Claus Lauer.
