I figured I would get this started so post something about what you build and why.

I started building a couple years ago as a next step and because I wanted my own custom frame. I've been welding for as long as I've worked as a mechanic. I like building "mountain" inspired bikes.   |

This is a tight thread. Thanks for starting it. I took Doug Fattic's class in 2015 and made a lugged steel road bike. I plan to do a lugged MTB next. If there's anybody else doing this in Chicago, hit me up. I'm looking for space.    |

Does it count that I have built frames, designed frames but never sold a frame only a handful I can properly say I did that. All frames are autonomous a few from small builders that are gone now.
