As an uncurable do it your selfer (must be the frostline kits as a kid, the redwood strip canoe with my dad, the surfboard....etc) the idea of building a frame is really interesting. However the design aspect is a little daunting, and I am not sure how much I want to invest in the goofing up/learining (one and same).
Does any one out there offer or would consider to offer a frame kit? i.e tubes cut, matching lugs, etc, that a person like me could use to build my own bike, with only some of the hassle?
I am thinking classic lugged steel, along the lines of a Rivendell Ramboillet...ie road bike, but versatile, good clearance etc.
a few stub of tubing and lug for practice work would make for a great kit.
Of course I can't start on a project until if finsih the basement, put the solar attic vent it, clean the garage and finish my Nishiki utility/commuter bike project
