Hear Ye, Seems that there are a few good builders in this country now.. It was not like that when I returned from the army in 66' My Daddy was a Sprinter and made His own frames but never became famous. I built from day one in the style that was needed and most of my work was ordinary. But not all of it. I reached a point where I exceeded my Daddy and the fine Rene' Herse he bought for me. I can make a cleaner and more accurate frame than most have ever been able to do for one reason, I never was satisfied and I am passing on some of that now but that is not the story. Steel is passing from this market, it just surfaces a bit and then sinks again. It still can possess more beauty than any other substance to me. I am about to sponsor a contest on my list to put all of your talent forth to make your own beauty. The prize is small, a set of Tim's software and maybe a free paintjob.

The point is larger, a ceremony of classic art with modern tech. The judges will be the builders themselves.

It is time to cut a Keystone.. America rules by Grace and freedom and talent.

There are many here now that are the result of those great masters and new and great masters themselves!
