Great photos, few words. Stunning and inspiring, imo.

Ha ha - that's pretty much exactly how I make oblong slots in aluminum with my Dremel!

Nice to see I'm using a master's technique.

Are you making frames or are you just modifying existing ones?

Great photo essay, thanks for posting! I picked up a 1970 Witcomb of London frame that has some (mostly cosmetic) issues and have been slowly working on it, this has given me some inspiration to continue forward!

Aren't you a master of your own?

Thanks for sharing, bici-mania. Beautiful photos, and cool that the author/photographer (Nick Czerula) made them freely available, even if for a limited time.

I think I'm out of practice, actually. Ask me again in a few weeks after I'm done with my first drillium project in quite awhile (for a Forum member).

Wow. That is quite striking.

I have been thinking of trying my hand at something like this but haven't quite gotten around to it yet.

I love this sort of thing, taking something 'old' and making it new again. There is a bunch philosophy behind that but I will spare you...

You have great taste and style.

You should ask @e-RICHIE about it, but I think that would predate his tenure there.
