Several weeks ago we had a discussion about the builder of a "mystery frame" and Tim Isaac was offered as one possible builder. I've just taken a few pictures of the two TS Isaac frames under my roof. Both date from the time Tim was building in Colorado in the late 790s. The first one is a team frame built as a spare for the ill-fated 1980 US Olympic team. I bought it from Tim as a bare frame and originally built it up all Campy Super Record, but over the years I've changed things to suit my aging body and personal preferences:

The second is my wife's bike, built on a touring frame from Tim:

And, yes Dale -- please feel welcome to use these on the ClassicRendezvous web site to embellish Tim Isaac's sadly deficient page. :-)
