| RICHARD SACHS CYCLES Why buy a frame from a one-man shop still using traditional hand-building methods? Because technology alone is a poor substitute for experience As a youngster, Richard Sachs could not easily separate his enthusiasm for bicycle racing from the interest he had in the equipment used by the top athletes of the day. His dream of learning to build bicycles that could, one day, rival the machines he so revered led him to spend a year in London as an apprentice to Witcomb Lightweight Cycles. More than 4 decades have passed, and Richard continues to zealously combine his racing background with his extensive framebuilding experience—and has gained respect as one of the finest builders of custom bicycles in the world. Contact Richard Sachs for more information.
