ESTABLISHED in 1976, Franklin has built over a thousand frames. These include singles, tandems, triples, trikes, small wheel, and an occasional recumbant or high-wire cycle. Most work is done "in house", including painting and polishing for chrome. Actual plating is sent out. Bicycle frames are the primary work, al- though over the years, additional offerings have become a major part of our business. Other work includes product and prototype development, jig, fixture, and specialty ma- chine building. The prototype and machine building is not limited to just the bicycle industry.
