Rodriquez frames were/are out of the R&E shop in Seattle. R&E Cycles was started by Jesus Rodriquez and Glenn Erickson back 20+ years ago. Most of the single frames out of the shop were labeled "Erickson" and most tandems were labeled "Rodriquez", but Glenn Erickson did all of the framebuilding, regardless of whose name was on the downtube. Jesus and Glenn sold their interests in the shop some time ago, and Glenn continues to make exquisite singles and tandems in the Seattle area. I'm not sure, but the R&E shop may continue to crank out tandem frames with the "Rodriquez" name on them. Anyway, this particular frame was most likely built by Glenn Erickson during his tenure as co-owner of R&E.

Unknown to seller apparently. I've heard of Rodriguez through Bicycle Guide or maybe Velonews but have never seen one in person but it apperars to be a nice frame.
The frame says Rodriguez and R&E Cycles on it. 23" from bb center to top of seat tube. Drop outs are Campy, has a steel Stronglight headset. Seatpost hole is 27.0 mm. The frame and fork are scratched on the chain stays, the seat stays, the top tube, the down tube and the seat tube as pictured and it had a waterbottle cage on it. The wheelbase is about 40 1/4". <<<<
