Todd; Doug Fattic is holding a framebuilding class. Whenever I think of bike artistry (lugwork) I think of Doug. Stunning is the best word for it. take his class and not only do you end up with an outstanding bike but you made it. Better yet, you can build another one (and another one) if you want. His class starts after Easter.
