Mark,

A bike like an Erickson needs to be repaired properly; look for the proper end results, not what it will cost to fix someone's mistake. The proper repair will leave the bike looking original (or maybe even better) and be a sound bike to ride also. Repairs often require more skill and experience that building new frames from scratch.

A friend that I bought an Erickson for last year and built it up had his wife drive it into the garage while still on top of the car and bent the top and down tube. Glenn is out of the country until the fall and I was wondering is there a builder out there that could replace these tubes and paint it at a reasonable cost? Thanks for the help in advance, Mark Poore Slatyfork, WV
