Hi John,
That was great! Women that pinstriped better than the pinstripe wheels of today. I wonder if those painters painting with the baked on enamels and nitro cellulose lacquers of yesteryear lived to tell their grand kids of the mass produced bicycle building of this new modern age in the teens to the 40's. Thanks and I really enjoyed that. I think Masi and Hetchins first shops were a bit more small s cale than the fat tired US bikes of pre and post WWII bicycle building in the US.
