Step 4Weld the bicycle frame.
I don't know how to weld at the quality level required for bicycle frames. So I chose to work with a very skilled welder, Curtis Inglis. I chose Curtis because he already was highly familiar working with curved tubing. And his shop was in the Bay Area so I could work directly with him.
Some people would say that this isn't a DIY project because I didn't do the welding. They may be right. My friends Ross and Adam have been talking about DIT projects -- "Do It Together." DIT is more fun than DIY because you have people to keep you positive and focused.
In any case, I can't offer too much wisdom about the welding phase except to say that it will take longer than you expect to do good work on a new bicycle design.
