thanks geoff! i wanted to depersonalize the issue, not focus on any one builder or brand. there are some incredible frames being produced, and the quality is not always dependent upon output or time constraints. e-RICHIE chester, ct

"motivation and a focused mental approach"?

I don't think anyone on this list would suggest that the quality of your work is in any way compromised because you make a living from building frames.I for one would love to be in your clogs and I welcome the little extra money that comes in from each of those ( maybe ) 4 frames a year.We

know that your primary focus is on building a quality item.If it wasn't many of us would have to find someone els's work to aim for in terms of comparison. Geoff Duke in Melbourne Australia where summer doesn't know whether
