heh... that's something in my book.

Framebuilding was fun. I worked for Michael Melton back in 1980. Michael later went on and built the first gen funny bikes for the 84 olympic team. I still have the track tandem that I built in Mike's shop in SC. We took it to the NYC bike show in 1980 and it's been under wraps for the last 26 years... still a virgin.
right now I have the hots for a cinelli tradtional steel frame... while they are still available.
I never worked in a retail bike shop... that takes lot of patience...
and other folks have told me.... it's not the place to get rich either :=)
If you were a good wheel builder you should be adept at diy'ing amps I would guess.
