nomadmax , thanks for the suggestion! I called Jack on Thursday, and, after sending photos, he's happy to do the repair. Interesting fact: he built frames for Steven Bilenky in the 80s! He echoed what Steven said to me once: younger framebuilders often are scared to do repairs. He gets a LOT of folks referring business to him. And I can understand the reluctance. Most of the time, anyone getting a frame repaired is sentimentally attached to the frame, so the stakes are higher. It costs your reputation. If you destroy a frame the customer hasn't even seen yet, well, it just costs money and time.
Thanks to all,
Oliver H.
