Congratulations to Bill, Bob and all the crew ! I was lucky to meet both Bob and Bill in Portland this year (maybe met you Bob...in San Jose too??) - and have enjoyed emails and stories of their work - AND their rides ! I travel a fair bit, and have been trying to snag a flight north to see their shop and catch some Seattle riding too

I'm thinkin the shop there may have reached the 25 year mark...but Bill's website pegs his frame building world beginning 35 years ago (what, were you 12 when yu started, Bill ??):
