i bend chainstays and cut tubes at a framebuilder. i also bend forks, line lugs, strip paint, and do the crap work. reminds me of when i started at a silk screeners, and i scrubbed and pressure washed silk screens all day.
i cut a $8000 ti bike in half this week. (to install s&s couplings).
i helped clean carbon tubes before we glued them. we then put the new campy super record group on it. 14.5lbs. $10,000+
i make $10,000 carbon/ti frames w $800 paint jobs. i love america.
