Wow - I have made Frames (Lugged, TIGed, Titanium & Fillet Brazed), Lugs, Dropouts, Stems, Cantilever Brakes, Racks (Steel and Titanium) Pumps, Toe Clips, Lights, Panniers, Handlebars, Seatposts, Baskets, Fenders, Tires, cable connectors, and Furniture. Does that make me a "Constructeur"????? I've always wanted to be "French" but don't speak the language, barely speak English. Regards, Bruce Gordon Bruce Gordon Cycles http://www.bgcycles.com
