After building for a couple of years I noticed people didn't want to hear I learned building bicycle by just starting and practicing untill I got it right. (I did learn a lot in that period).
I decided I needed a better story to tell them and I also wanted to know if I did things the right way.
So, I went to Dave Yates in England and took a framebuilding course.
Normally these courses are aimed at first timers, but never the less I still learned a lot and had a great time. I should have done this to begin with and it would have saved me a lot of time.
If you are also interested in buidling your own frame contact Dave, he can have you build your own frame in a week.
