[RBW] Re: Marginally OT
Thanks for the pics and report! I went and met Mike and saw the shop when I was visiting my family back in Massachusetts last summer, and he is just a nice guy that obviously loves what he does. I've been a framebuilding fanboy for a long time, and have recently begun scheming how to learn the skills for myself. I think if I can save up the money, one of his classes will be my next major bike purchase.

Wow. That is spectacular! A.N.T. Bike Mike, frame building (torches, mills, jigs, etc.), and a new bike project as well. Nicely done, on several levels.

Re: RE: [RBW] Re: Marginally OT
Tom - congratulations! That is an amazing bike, and an amazing experience (we talked about it a little when you visited for Grant's visit). Very impressive. It must be thrilling to ride a bike you made yourself. Thanks for all the different angle picturesJoanPS - I share your enthusiasm for Hetres. Got my first flat in over 2 years/3,000 miles about 2 weeks ago. Their versatility is outstanding. On 10/16/12, Allingham II, Thomas Jthomas.alling...@skadden.com wrote:It was fantastic. Mike is a great teacher, and a master builder, and a great guy, too. I wasn’t particularly gifted at welding, but he walks you carefully through the process, and it’s a fair statement to say that I built the frame (with indispensable help from Mike). A couple of times when I burned through a tube at the joint, he simply saddles up the torch and repairs the hole so it barely showed, and was invisible (to me, anyway) after filing. It’s truly a soup to nuts experience – in the A.N.T Bike and Camp set on my stream, you can see a pic of the pile of tubes that became my bike, and a lot of pics of steps along the way.The cost is high ($3,000 for the week, including great lunches!), but in my mind totally worth it, and if you want to keep building, Mike is extremely generous with post-class support.

I think it's a helluva deal and a fantastic looking bike as well. You not only have a bike you built yourself but a weeks worth of time with a master of the trade. Hang a value on that.
