Mark, that's really cool.
You realize that Frank W. Schwinn thought women made better frame brazers than men, right? For many years during the sixties and seventies, most Paramounts were brazed by one of two women - Wanda Omelian and Louise Redman.

Start them out in the garage at an early age and they won't be 'helpless'. My eldest isn't afraid to wrench on her car, my youngest put a hardwood floor in her house. On the other hand, it's painful to watch my wife 'swing' a hammer.

Terrible mistake. Who's going to be the one to paint all her frames for free once she starts up her fledgling business?
