Alpine Cycles were a product of Georgetown Cycle and Sport. I believe Alpine might have been started and then GC&S bought them. They were located between Rockville and Bethesda, Maryland in Congressional. Danny Wagner gave us a frame as a prize for a road race that our resort sponsored. It was one of their early frames and left a lot to be desired. The quality and workmanship took a steep climb in a short period of time. There were several folks that worked on the frames during that period. They repainted a Hurlow that I purchased and sold to a friend around ’83 or ’84 and did a top notch job. If I am not mistaken Danny sold off Alpine Cycles when GC&S closed its doors in I believe in the late ‘80’s or so. If you would like more info I could get in touch with Danny for you.
