I do love to see pictures of the details in frame building- welded beads, drilled tubes, etc.
But I like to see variety and a personal touch too. Mix it up! Alternate some fun 'human' posts with technical tidbits. I like to see photos of pets, photos of stuff in your workshop, food, bike rides, frame building, adventures....

What Bleecker said..... As the proud owner of two Lunas, I'd love to see how you build your beautiful bikes.

Very nice! I have to agree with all of the other ladies, that I would LOVE to see pictures of frames in action!! It's very interesting to me, and it sounds like you might have a following here Bleeker mentioned adding some personal photos along the way, and I "totally" agree with her! It would make your blog that much more personal.

Great job, thanks for sharing it with us!

very cool. (btw I meant nothing but appreciation for your love of socks. I share it)
It is good to know what appeals to women, especially along the whole spectrum of women cyclists. Sometimes I feel I live on the very edge of that spectrum, so a reality check is important. The fact that I came of age fascinated with bicycles and staring at the joints between bike tubes says a lot about me, and also the fact that welding things makes me happy. Women who find machining and fabricating interesting are interesting, imo. My impression, however, is that we are few and far between!

I like seeing the pics of frames being built. Of course, I love the finished, painted bikes as well!

I realize you're a framebuilder, but I'm also interested in the component choices people make. For example, I've been inspired by the mixte thread to get one for most commuting. But I'm a bit stymied by whether to consider an internal hub or rear cassette/derailleur, what type of handlebars, shifters, etc.

So, I'm into the whole bike build from the frame (incl. the wheelsize it's designed for) to the drivetrain to 'minor' components, so I hope you'll discuss your buyers choices when you feature their bikes!
