Hello John,

i saw some pictures of your bike's on internet, also the frame that you've build. Sorry but i can't answer the seat stay question. My Question to you is how did you buid your own frame, is there a guideline on the internet how to build a frame, I have some links with manufacturers of lugs en tubes, but no information how to build them

I'm also a young classic roadbike collector, I started 4 years ago, I've got a:

Eddy Mercks molteni bike build by kessels A full chrome fiorelli A whit 1984/85 geurciotti A red Pinarello Treviso from 1981 And a metalic red Colnago Super from 82

greets,

Arno Volkers Eindhovenlaan 3 5224 VG Den Bosch
