    if you want to reply to me:.

  2. Mr. Gilmour lives here in Tucson, and I believe is still making custom
    frames. From what I know, his stuff is quite nice, very well made, and
    very professional. A friend of mine had Gilmour custom build him a bike
    back in the mid '80's, and still loves it.

    I believe that there is a web site for Gilmour bikes, try Googling
    again. good luck

  3. In the early 90's I moved to Tucson, met Andy during the infamous Shoot
    Out rides. After about 6 months I went to him to have a frame built.
    He didn't seem too interested in hearing my input into what I wanted.
    As he put it, he'd seen me ride for 6 months and knew what I needed.
    As he put it, he'd built over 1,500 frames, and I'd been riding for 3
    years and had built NO frames. He said if I didn't like what he built,
    he'd refund my money. He didn't even measure me or my current bike.

    Long story short: best frame I've ever owned. I don't think it was a
    coincidence.

    Andy Bishop rode his bikes repainted as any number of sponsors' bikes
    through his career, as did Steve Speaks and others.

  4. Hello, my name is Andy gilmour. I have been building frames since 1974. Wesite; gilmourbicycles.us . The site is in construction, but there is a fair bit of information there. Thanks Andy
