    Thanks, they are made by Steve Rex in Sacramento, CA. The yellow one is painted by his painter, Russ Pickett of Air Art in Chico (awesome job!!), and the red one is powdercoated - I sent him the cranks to have powdercoated at the same time.

    You cant' see it in the first picture, but Russ painted butterflies on the yellow bike on the front end of the top tube and down tubes. There are a couple of "lost" butterflies on the seatstays, too!

    I'm not sure how long his wait is right now, because he just had to move his shop after 17 years in the same location. But he found a property nearby, fortunately. I think his usual wait time is about four months (that's what it was for both of mine, I ordered in October each time).
