After 15+ years and tens of thousands of miles, some raced, many more ridden, my love for Richard Sachs frames has only gotten stronger over time.  As the proud and privileged owner of four Richard Sachs cycles since 1984, including Serial #1/25 of Richard's 25th Anniversary frame, the thought of ever owning anything other than a Richard Sachs steel road frame is something that NEVER crosses my mind, even for a nanosecond; it would be sacrilegious!  If there is a more elegant and meticulously built steel road frame, in this country, or from Europe, I have not seen it.
