r/Framebuilding↗
The place to talk about handbuilt bikes.
Handbuilt/custom bicycle frames are what we love. Post your work, questions, and links to blogs, framebuilding resources, forums, and just generally cool articles. Topics can include but are not limited to custom frames (of course), frame mods, frame repair, painting custom frames, custom racks, jigs, tubes, files, flame, welders, and hard work. This is an international sub. Take your xenophobia elsewhere. No gatekeeping. Keep it respectful.
