Hey Gregory, I designed the frames and forks , stickers etc... My early ones had thinner drop outs. Later on I made them thicker. The Frame numbers I'm not to sure of at the moment. Yes all of my riders at the time were riding the same Frames and Froks I was selling. Eric Carter rode a Pro XL Frame and Fork Set. I've done all the work to all the Frames set that was sold. From cutting the tubes stampimg the frame numbers. Let me tell you it was alot of hard work but it was worth it. At the of me making my bikes I close my doors because at that time Companys were going overseas to get there products made Cheaper and I refuse to do that because of the Quality of the products. People to this day ask me if I would start making my bikes again. Great design Double Gusset Bottom Bracket one of a kind. I started Aust 1978 three months before my 18th birthday, Start it racing late I think I still hold the record for that, 2 1/2 years later I went Pro. I only race for 10 years total,, the best years of my life. I've race all over the world and met some great people along the way. I was racing back east the race announcer was calling out Pro rider name and nickenames and came to me and said Tommy Brackens the Humandragster the fastiest rider to the frist turn. People at that time never heard that be for and the person who annouce my nickname was a guy name Bob Hunt. I still talk to him to this day great guy. My idols at the time I started racing was my best friends and practice buddies Anthony Sewell and Turnell Henry. We also grew up in the same area. We would go by each other houses to go practice somewhere.
