Elliot Chandler, who ran Desimone's along with his mother-in-law, Athene Fields (Joe Desimone's daughter) fabricated those bike stands and sold them to shops. Three of them were owned by Peter Rich at Velo Sport in Berkeley. Peter sold one of them to me when the shop closed and it is on load to a buddy of mine.
I think Elliot did not fabricate those stands. There was another man at Desimone's when I arrived there in 1980 and my guess is that it was HE who made them.
they had shop stands that are forged with "DESIMONE'S BICYCLE SHOP STAND". the stands are now at Missing Link in Berkeley
