Framebuilding
The logotype for my framebuilding venture. Click to visit site.
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.
