 Made-to-measure bicycle frames
 Click on small images to see larger views.  Updated 12.10.2011
I have only made 31 frames but when I had the chance to build, I have really enjoyed it. Each frame has been different and had it's own "personality! Unfortunately operating cycles de ORO has left me no spare time, so at this time I am not accepting orders. I would urge any owners of 'DB' bikes to send pictures of their bikes to include here.
                                                                                                  Thanks,  Dale
