Robert- Georgena Terry did build a number of bikes early in the company's history. IIRC she tried a dual 700c frame or two before coming across Bill Boston's design. She also built a few dual 700c frames for customers that didn't need such a short reach. Like the 5'13" woman who's bike had a top tube the same length as mine, and I'm 5'6". That customer, and a couple other friends, got Georgena her "Brazing Hussy" Tee shirt.
