I think Norris Lockley wrote about this at length a year ago or so..

IIRC, JPR is Jo Routens business that his son now runs. They did alot of eccentric/innovative designs including the seatposts and headsets. Small specialty bike shop/frame makers/company. Clsoe to or in a ski area? Dale Brown Greensboro, North Carolina USA

So is the "JPR" who manufactured this eBay headset (item # 140111336812) the very same "JPR" who manufactured those somewhat unusual seat posts in the 1970s and early '80s?

What other parts did they manufacture? Also, how big a firm was Jan Routens and was it related to Jo Routens? Fred "elucidation requested" Rednor - Arlington, Virginia (USA)
