Now that Ted and Jim are commenting, I feel like this timeline project has
officially made the big leagues haha! Thanks guys! Jim, I was inspired to
pick up from what you've already contributed to so much on your page. Ted,
that is great insight straight from the horse's mouth as it were.
Rambouillet were all Toyo-built.
The first run (orange) had a mis-positioned rear brake bridge as has been
documented.

Regarding builders: Joe Starck definitely built Road and All Rounder
frames. I'm not so sure he built Rambouillets, unless perhaps a prototype
or two?
It occurs to me that the Roco Bebe kid-carrier bike is missing from your
list.

Sachs designed the lugs used on the earliest models. He didn’t make them or
any frames. Waterford was the earliest vendor and as others have noted, a few
other small builders have helped over the years, Nobilette most recently. Toyo
did several frame models for a period of about 5 years, and
Steven, you are right about "unofficial customs" like the snapshot of an
early catalogue posted by Joe Bernard mentions where it notes a 300.00
upcharge. And Nathan is right that during a peak demand period they used
some US top builders for customs and RS was one of them. I think one was
for
Eric,
Sach's decade long waiting list is a recent invention from frame building's
explosion in popularity around the late 00s / early 10s. It wasn't always
that difficult to have him build you a bike.
In the 90s I believe he designed some lugs for Rivendell, and then later
made 3 frames or so
I’ve never heard that they used Sachs as a builder. Hasn’t he always had a
long waiting list?
I think they’ve used a Sachs fork crown or lugs, or maybe he used theirs.
