## Summary

Linda and Kyle discuss Harry Leary’s DIRTWERX era, Livermore Boss frame production, family financial support, a newly acquired NOS DIRTWERX frame, and the provenance of a complete DIRTWERX bike that traveled from Harry to Linda’s son Chaz, back to Harry, through Kyle’s preservation work, and finally back to Linda.

## Historical significance

The recording joins company history to a detailed artifact custody chain and documents a conservation choice to retain the complete bike’s wear and history rather than cosmetically restore it. It also records plans for Linda or another family member to ride the bike at Dirtyfest 4.
