I’m back to building today and I must say that feels good. I could do this everyday. Maybe I should consider a career in framebuilding. I just started a fillet bike for Malcolm and got the front triangle brazed today.
Included today is a photo of seven of the eight founding member of The Framebuilder’s Collective. This was taken this past weekend at the show. It’s too bad Darrell McColloch of Llewellyn Bikes couldn’t make it. Something about Australia being far away.
From left to right are -
Dario Pegoretti, Richard Sachs, Curt Goodrich, yours truly, Sacha White, Nick Crumpton and kneeling in front is Mr. Carl Strong.
I wonder what the heck I’m looking at?

Seven of the founding eight.
It looks like everyone had a great time. Can I point out how many folks have a connection to my neck of the woods here in the Northwest. Curt Goodrich used to build bikes at R&E Cycle in Seattle (and I have a bike from there, but not one of Curt’s). Sacha White, of course, is in Portland. And Mr Strong himself was born in Seattle. We must be doing something right.
Also, is this the first time I’ve seen Mr Strong without dark glasses?
Enjoy. Yrs, Eric (in Seattle)
