Hello all,
Not sure if anyone's interested but I'm currently doing a frame-building course at Downland Cycles near Canterbury - at the end of 11 days of tuition I should have gained the knowledge and experience to build custom steel frames using traditional techniques. I'll also have a home-made Reynolds 631 frame and forks built by me, to my own spec and dimensions to paint and build up :-D
I'm blogging the experience here: http://srframebuilding.blogspot.co.uk/
I've paid special attention to details so the whole thing's being fillet brazed (it'll be the only non-lugged bike I own) with wrap-around seat stays and classic road dropouts. The only lugs in the whole thing are the fork crown and also the seat clamp that I'm going to make out of a bit of over-sized tube....
Hope you enjoy!
