Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Framebuilder in Arizona.

Hey guys, im just trying to get some info on a father/son group of frame builders in Arizona. I was wondering if any one has heard of them and what the good and bad you have heard?

I was offered a job in AZ and am thinking about taking it. Possibly trying to get an apprenticeship with them if they sound like a good place to learn from.

The company is Cooper Works and they are located in Chandler, AZ.

Looking at their Flickr, they have some good looking bikes.

I would appreciate any and all info about this company. Help a fello BF member...

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Yeah same here. Thats why im asking for BF's help. Im still not sure if im going to AZ or not though. It does sound like the smart thing to do but there are other complications in doing so.

Deshi - I'd suggest you contact Mark Nobilette https://nobilettecycles.com/index.htm He used to live and build frames in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and made me a fantastic steel frame in 1983 that I still own and ride. I think he now lives in Colorado and is still building. He should know what's going on in the business.
