I am selling my Bill Holland steel frame with a beautiful ORIGINAL paint job by Joe Bell. The frame was made in 1990 out of Reynolds 531 and is my prettiest frame I own, bar none. Bill Holland is a master frame builder out of San Diego who has made frames for 39 years and shares space with renowned bike painter, Joe Bell. Bill currently exclusively makes Ti frames now but told me he will make a limited run of steel bikes next year for his 40th anniversary.
The bike is beautiful in many ways. The paint is original and looks fresh and new. I sparkles in the sun. I would rate this frame a 9.5 out of 10 being [I]very[/I] picky. The lug work and attention to detail are very nice and traditional. The bike even includes a matching Silca Pump painted by Joe Bell with a metal Campy head. Please e-mail me with any questions: dspeirs at yahoo dot com.
