Subject: [CR]Re: CR: Argos Frames

Argos frames were imported by Larry Mersereau in San Rafael/Marin County California in the 70's when he couldn't get Ron Cooper to make enough frames to satisfy the demand. Coopers were very desirable in that period, and were considered the (first? only? best? you pick) Italian style race frame to come out of England in that time frame.

Argos reputedly came from the makers name, ARt GOSling, ( I could be off on the last name a bit, but you get the idea) and were made in England. They were priced a bit cheaper than Coopers and were much more available.

Wow! TWO salient on topic, no politics or ranting or shilling or bashing. I must be really racking up the "dues" points, now, eh KEN?
