Hey folks!
I am a student Industrial/Product Designer @ A.I. PDX. I would like to focus on "GREEN" Transportation.
I want to someday build/design custom frames/components. Did I pick the wrong field of study? Or should I just cough up the $12,000 and take some classes at U.B.I.? There is always the future ahead of me. I have taken a basic wielding class at school/shop and somewhat know my way around a milling machine. I would rather do everything by hand (the old school way) files and coping saws. Please give me any insight on how you got started out in the business! I plan on building bikes in the future if only in own garage. My shop teacher says thats framebuilding is a craft thats many many takes years to perfect, what do you think? I really think about bike's in my sleep is this normal?


P.s. I moved to Portland OR because I feel like I'd have an advantage here, loads of resources.
