Why, thank you all for such nice comments! I'll take your kind and sweet comments with gratitude and as food for inspiration

I mostly posted the link hoping folks might be encouraged to ask: "what the heck is THAT?" or "why THIS?" ...as framebuilding looked weird to me from a distance before I ever did it....So if you have questions (and trust me, none of them are dumb; I've asked them all before), I'm very happy to answer them.

Honestly, this kind of work, the hands-on part of it, is simply repeating a process so many times you finally know how to do it in a way that isn't so effort-ful, although each frame is still really unique. I still enjoy it, and it still feels amazing that these things become actual beloved bikes, (and so often for people I never get to meet!). I like that there are so many variables in creating a bicycle by hand, and one must keep them all at the forefront of attention in order to make the best bike possible.
