Franklin Frames in Ohio will build you anything your heart desires :) And he does not have a long wait time. Jack Trumbull is prea tty much a one man operation in rural Ohio . He is definitely under the radar, so speak He told me that Riv once contacted him about building some frames, but he declined . He also paints and does any type of frame repair. You can get a full touring or any other type of rig from $1400-$1680 for your choice of steel, lugged or fillet brazed. He builds from titanium, stainless and carbon . I have one of his "Bradley" customs in "sport touring" geometry with 18" chainstays in Reynolds 531ST, and man do Iooooove that ride. I have a Bombadil also, which would make a fine touring rig, but it's a bit stiff for me for every day fun riding . My Bradley is just wonderful riding , as it has more flex in all the right places that it floats over the uneven chip and seal roads I ride alot on . It's as completely stable at 5mph on steep uphills as it is 50 mph down.
Jack does most of his business through local Ohio shops, but does sell to individuals that don't live locally . It would be best just to call him to talk about it. He's real easy to chat with ! He's been doing this for over 35 years, so he's done and seen about everything bike related :) http://www.franklinframe.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
