I have a total lifetime output of two (still riding both eighteen years later). Built a crit. bike for myself in 1982 and a touring bike for my wife in 1983. Had some guidance from Mike Appel in Madison WI, but did all the work myself by hand in my apartment(!). Mike's painter at the time painted both of them.

Soon thereafter, Trek offered to hire me as a second-shift silver brazer for $5/hr.

Cheers,

Greg "semi-retired very amateur framebuilder" Parker Ann Arbor, MI (45 F and sunny today!)
