Frame building an art? Of course it is and engineering comes a close second. Aesthetic is the term I would rather use as it applies to renaissance architecture, steam engines and other things that for some reason look, sound and smell just right. Europe should erect a huge monument at every port of entry to commemorate all those un-sung, nameless and poorly paid artisans of the past centuries who made the place what it is. To me, frame builders should be included in this very select group and that includes N.American ones! Regards to fellow cyclists.
