Can anyone recommend any good frame builders on the East Coast. Eventually, I would like to purchase a custom-made frame for myself. I currently have a 63 cm. (center-center) road bike, but I find it is too small. Most pro- duction frames come no larger than this, with just a few builders producing 65 cm. frames. I feel that a 66 or 67 cm. frame would be about right for me with a correspondingly long top tube. I am interested in racing frames or sport-racers. -Dominic Mancello (cmcl2!acf4!mancello)

Very High Quality custom bikes. (His tandem frames were reviewed quite favoribly in a biking publication). He has quite a few frame types to chose from (road, tour, crit, trak) at several levels of "quality" (from painted lugs to gold-plated lugs, tips, etc.) To get in touch...

I am just curious; how tall are you? Most racers try to ride the smallest frame they possibly can; smaller frames are stiffer and lighter. If you really need a 65cm, good luck. Faisal@SMU
