His price was $1,600 for a tig-welded single-color ppwdercoated frame.

For 4 frames, all done in the same color with true temper ox platinum tig-welded, he offered them to us for $1,200.

I sent him a columbus Grammy fork.
Because I was the ring leader and put this together, he ordered me S3 and wet painted ghost decals on the downtube were to be the finishing touches.

BUT I wasn't under the impression he was obscure or poorly-known. I had spoken with a prominent racer who had just commissioned two frames from him and Billy did really stellar work with Horse manning the paintbrush (can?) but my mileage. Well, it obviously varied.
