Well we made it to Indy safe and sound, the booth is all set up,and we’ve gotten reacquainted with some old friends. It’s good to finally be here.
I want to take a moment to tell you about a new group that has been launched recently. The Framebuilders’ Collective made its public debut today and I’m proud to be part of the group.
Here is the official press release that was released today. Much more about this soon.

For Immediate Release
26, February 2009
Indianapolis, Indiana
Eight professional framebuilders from three countries have spent the last 24 months working behind the scenes to create an international organization which they expect will galvanize the trade, pay homage to its past, and work towards ensuring that its future is bright and profitable. The Framebuilders’ Collective is a now a reality. The group includes Curt Goodrich, Sacha White, Nick Crumpton, Dave Kirk, Carl Strong, Dario Pegoretti, Darrell McCulloch, and Richard Sachs.
A website http://www.framebuilders.org is the holding place for the group’s mission statement and FAQ list.
All founding members are enthusiastic about the Collective’s potential and are now looking forward to finally being a public entity after 2 years of planning. Efforts are underway to expand the names involved so that the The Framebuilders’ Collective will be a true representation of the talent and the commitment that is part and parcel of the professional framebuilding trade.
