Check with Tom from Fabercycle. He's in your neck of the woods. I had my 47 EL frame done here on the island but that's a little to far for you.Comment

Thanks. I'm already in touch with Mr. Faber for handlebars.Jim RamseyComment

I got the handlebars for my 47 from him. I'm very impressed with them.Comment

Geez......my phone's been ringin' off the hook for knuckle frame repair. Sorry folks, but I can't help on that. I do frame repair on teens bikes, like Excelsior, pope., thor, American, Reading Standard. etc.
Nothing 20s or newer.............except handlebars, we do that....just not frames.Comment

Try Bill Miller in Ohio. Maybe someone on here has his info. Brian.Comment

We can handle your frame repairs and will be glad to help you out.

If anyone thinks they should send thier frame to Bellevue Iowa, please... PLEASE.... do NOT send your frame THERE...!!!! You will be sorely dissapointed, and will have wasted several hundred dollars...!!! And on top of that, you will need repairs done to the (hack hack) "repairs"....Originally posted by Chris Haynes View Post
Call Dick at Wasco Frame--- 253-927-0669. He's one of the old guys that's done it forever, still has his sh!t together, and knows what the HELL he is doing...!Comment
