RIP Frame Maker

[gardenhosebusabottle]

I met Julian YEARS ago when I lived in San Jose, early 90's I think.  he came over and helped me sort something electrical? on the RD. 

Then.....I went over to his house in Livermore.   F*ck me Freddy.  This guy was like the american equivalent to John Britten.  I think at the time he was w/ A.N.D.?  He showed me a rubber like protector he was making for diving guages and that big friggin mill metal hulk thing  he had in the garage and a zillion bikes out back.  I think he even made his own rims.  Talk about blown away.   I think he was also doing a frame for an RD500.  His EX500 race frames were bitchin' too.

Right next to Mines road..


I was like please let me get 6 winning numbas, i'll have the baddest RD in ALL the land.

What a great talent.  It was a privilege to have met him.

Rest in peace framemaker.
