Bicycle Framebuilding Discussion Announced

Come join us for a casual discussion with Tim, from Massengill frames, and Glenn, from Daltex Handmade Bicycles. Topics will range from framebuilding, design, materials, as well as the path these guys took to learn the craft of framebuilding. The lecture will be held at noon on Sunday, February 21st, at the autoshop class beside Adamson High School (201 E 9th St, Dallas, TX 75203). The shop teacher, Kenny Cotten, also work closely with YBS bikes.

This is a first part of a potential class series we mentioned developing in December. We’re still fleshing out exactly how that will look, as the logistics and response were greater than we first anticipated. This discussion will introduce several of the area builders, review their methods and how they go about their craft, and help others get started. We also hope to gauge how to best move forward in the direction of a full class series, with the ultimate goal of developing a bike building culture throughout DFW.

Please RSVP if you plan to attend, and if we have more than 20 sign up for this initial course, we’ll look to find a larger location and possibly fill a second date.
