Subject: [RBW] Re: Help with Serial Numbers

If memory serves there were just a few frames completed in 1994 and
all the 94-95 (-96?) were wateford built. JB didn't start painting
Rivendell frames until later, I will stab a guess at 1998 or 99. My
1996 A/R was Waterford built&painted, my 2001 Road was Curt built JB
painted.
