Frame: 1990s Richard Sachs, new paint by Foresta Frames, also includes a paint matched Topeak frame pump.
Serial #: 12399
History: From the prior owner "Its a 1990s frame which I acquired used from Richard in 2013 when he handled a sale for his client. The original paint was hammered and Joe Bell’s queue was too long so I had Craig at Foresta frames (no longer doing business) do a respray in dark blue.
Instead of using a decal package, Richard allowed us to copy his original fonts and look. Craig duplicated the Sachs logos and signature, created spray templates and painted them on. So rather than decals, the white “Sachs” logos are real paint. Craig told me Richard “loved it”. Which is worthless, but what the heck it’s a fun frame story and we love this stuff."
