Framebuilding

I’m learning the craft of framebuilding. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years, and in the fall of 2009, I finally got decided to execute Operation: Shit or Get Off the Pot, and started in on it. I’m learning from a guy named Paul Wyganowski, who learned from Tim Paterek. It’s a good lineage to be following.

My goal is to set up a side gig where I build custom frames for paying customers. I expect to be able to start taking orders in 2011.

As I write this, I am currently working on a rigid (suspension-corrected) 29′er MTB frame that I’ll be running as a singlespeed. In the pipeline behind it are a lugged touring/commuter frame and a single-speed cyclocross frameset. There’ll be a track frame (real track, not road fixie) happening in there somewhere, too.
