Richard Sachs is known world-wide as one of the most skilled proponents of
the
traditional art of handbuilt frame construction. Working in his one-man
shop
in Chester, Connecticut, for more than 30 years, Richard Sachs transforms
lugs, steel tubing, and silver and brass brazing material into supremely
crafted, exceptional bicycle frames. Joe Bell, equally famous for his
skills
in the spray booth, adds his signature paintwork to the finished product.
A Sachs frame is more than a bicycle--it is an expression of your
appreciation
for the finest in handmade, traditional, American craftsmanship. Built of
the
finest steel alloy, a Sachs frame will last a lifetime. For more info, see
Richard's web page (www.richardsachs.com) and Joe Bell's online site
(www.joebell.biz)
Richard will custom-make the bicycle to your specifications and according to
his tried-and-tested frame geometry.
The goal of the Histiocytosis Association's Research Program is to establish
better treatments and a cure for those affected with the histiocytoses,
ultimately effecting the prevention of such diseases.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for helping fight
Histiocytosis!
