Established in 1903, this bicycle building business was known for it's artisan approach, gaining a particular reputation for its tandems.  In the 1970s, a strong USA importing and promotional effort was entered into, with such noteables as Wayne & Dale Stetina campaigning the bicycles on the USA race scene. The USA success ended in the late 1970s, but they remain in business at the above address.
