I landed a very early S&M Beringer frame this week. I felt that I needed an S&M frame in my collection for some reason and only the Beringer would do. I was lucky to drop on this one with US bottom bracket and pre hidden set head tube.

I'm putting the restoration of this one on the back burner though. I have too may outstanding projects on the go. In the meantime though, if anyone knows of any Beringer frame decals anywhere, in particular the "S&M BIKES INC" down tube ones, I'd love to hear about them.

I don't build them. I just restore them to a visually new looking finish. I don't have the time, money or wife for building bikes.

As for your Beringer Bars, I rode two sets myself for over 10 years. The OG one and the light one. They were the best!

Thanks man.
