I live for the CABE
This Romic bike is on CL in my area and I thought it might be Italian when I first saw the name. Nope - it turns out this is USA built and the builder (from Texas eventually) was quite an interesting guy. He had factory ties to both Schwinn and AMF, he was a racer, and went on to build a successful frame shop/bicycle business.
He has now passed on, but there is a historical website with lots of interesting tidbits ranging across the cycling spectrum.
Ray also had ties to Daniel Boone Cycles in TX - one example is for custom building lightweight three speed "Gentlemen's" frames for their shop...seems like a lot of CABE roads lead to Texas.
(I posted a link earlier in the lightweight section - if admins need to delete a duplicate - plz take that post down as I think this fits better in this forum - thanks!)
