I am trying to find a good frame builder to do a (what I hope is) minor repair to a frame of mine. It has a dent in one of the seat stays just below where the stay is lugged to the seat tube. Not a huge dent, but fairly deep. It is a Hollands frame, with Columbus tubing. I would take it bake to John Hollands to fix, but have had no luck contacting him. I live outside of Washington, DC, but would ship it if I had to. Any suggestions based on personal experience? Someone who could repaint it would be a plus. I asked the one local shop that is what I would call a "real" bike shop, but they had no names for me. Thanks for the leads.

Who would be my first choice, but, as I mentioned, I've had no luck contacting him. Believe me, I've tried.
I believe that Tom Kellogg, of Spectrum Cycles, near Allentown, PA, does repairs. I have not had repairs, but he built me a wonderful bike, and I'll vouch for his integrity and skill. Regards, Roy Zipris
A bit far afield, but I would highly recommend Pete Weigle in Lyme Ct. He has done work for me in the past; I'm currently saving up the shekels to have him build a frame for me....Peter Weigle, Hamburg Road,Lyme, Conn.

Thanks for the last couple of leads, guys. I'll check them out & see what gives. I had thought that Kellogg moved to building Ti bikes, but I'll check them both out.
