Riders seeking custom steel frames or wheel service

Field notes

Prospective riders begin with a two-hour jig session using their shoes and current bicycle; the shop records fit measurements and supplies a drawing for approval before cutting tube. The page specifies Reynolds 725 or 853 selection by rider and load, and says alignment is checked cold after brazing. Wet paint is handled by Aldreth Finishing, described as four miles away; powder coat is listed as 90 g heavier.
