Stephen- So, the thinkers on this planet are mentally il, the non-thinkers sane? Methinks we're now off topic on this list.

THIS IS THE WAY IT IS: ART is a thougth-provoking intellectual achievement, no matter what the medium. CRAFT is something you hang on your wall because it goes nicely with the kitchen counter top.

Those rims are sooo light are there any modern rims that light? Second: Who said bikes are a work of art - an ugly bike can be just as functional as a beautiful bike - bikes as far as I know don't hang in any art museums so if someone is building them to ride them then a few file marks don't amount to a hill of beans.

Hey frame builders do any of you do this for the recognition in the art community or do you do this to pay the bills?

Just my two cents
