Bicycle frame-building
Learn the art of steel frame-building in this two-week course from the man who helped get it all started on the West Coast -- Paul Brodie. This is a hands-on course using the same jigs and fixtures that helped to create over 4000 hand-built Brodie frames. Design your own hard-tail frame, and be an integral part of its creation. Graduate from the course with knowledge and understanding of the process... and believe me, there is nothing like riding a bike you built yourself! The course includes a brief MTB history, frame design/geometry, tube selection, full-scale drawing, shop safety, tube-mitreing, jigs and fixtures, welding/brazing, frame alignment, and finish work. When you begin, you'll need to have a clear idea of what style of bike you wish to build, and which front fork style you wish to use. Course options frame material is 4130 cro-moly; TIG welded or fillet-brazed (no lugs) wheel sizes: 26" / 29" / 700c brake mounts: disc or V-brake style: MTB/single speed/cyclocross/road/cruiser paint: not supplied Note: Bicycle gruppos will be available for course participants at wholesale pricing. Please let us know in advance if you are interested. Download Winter/ Spring 2012 Brochure (PDF)
