Hello,
Does anybody here have any experience with Waterford Bikes[http://
www.waterfordbikes.com/index.php] ?
They seem really impressive looking to me. How do they ride?
I'd like to get a Waterford-type finish for my trike.
Regards,
Cullen

No first hand experience, but the folks at Yellow Jersey bike
shop in Madison, WI rave about them. I trust their opinion.

I own a Gunnar Sport, which is made by Waterford. My bike is TIG welded True
Temper OX Platinum tubing with a Waterford level paint job. They do a really
nice job. Nice welds, beautiful paint. Plus they're really nice people to
deal with. If you call, there's a good chance you'll speak to Richard
Schwinn himself.

They also produce recumbent bike frames for the Volae brand, and have
the same great reputation for quality and value in that market
segment.

Every Waterford frame I've seen has been crackerjack; well thought
out, well constructed and very nicely finished. And, in today's
market, they are a bargain.

I have one. It's actually a Schwinn Paramount, built at the Waterford
factory, which turned into Waterford (the Schwinn Paramount project)
namesake. I love mine. If you do a bit of googling, there's a long
rapsheet of Waterford's terrific-ness on the usenet.

There's a Waterford factory tour and ride July 7th (Evanston Bicycle Club
and Kenosha-Racine Club). If you are nearby, I'll tell you more.
During the first bankruptcy/reorg of Schwinn, one of the family, Richard
Schwinn, took over the high-end Schwinn plant in Waterford, Wisconsin. He
had to change the name, though, and thus Waterford was born. They produce
Waterford, Gunnar, and some frames for other people -- I think they still do
the frames for Heron. A number of people in our club have them and seem
quite pleased. This doesn't include me, so I can't add anything more.

I've always wanted one. I knew a guy with a Waterford a few years
back--he was constantly raving about it.
