 Seems like an old fashion way to do it but...
We still hand-grind each one of our Spoke Wrenches for two reasons. First to make them look good, but second and most important is to check each wrench for proper braze adhesion and wrench sizing. Our wrenches have been a staple of the industry worldwide for nearly 40 years. The process above is one reason why we sell so many.
 One stand at time
Mark is our TS-2 man. Nearly every Professional Truing Stand we build passes in front of him for final assembly, adjustment and inspection. We make thousands a year but just one at a time.
 Perfectly parallel dropouts
We still believe in making sure each part fits just the way it was designed. These parts belong to our Frame and Fork Dropout Alignment Tool. The FFG-1 helps make sure the dropouts are parallel with each other as well as providing a perfect way to re-align.

25 years as a Top Ten Schwinn Dealer got us started on our collection of antique bikes. Mostly Middleweights, Sting Rays and Krates.
