| This is the lug work we provided for ARTISAN frames, brainchild
of Jim Cunningham, Master Art Painter and owner of
CyclArt company.
All the lug artwork were presented -as computer drawings, to the customer and
approved before intricate and painful procedure of shaping and adjusting of
lugs started. All the fine line painting, as golden accent around a lugs, was done by steady hand of Suzan Cunningham, Jim's wife and partner. |
