Yamaguchi Frame Building Fantasy Camp

.
Frame Building Fantasy Camp 101 I was in the market for a bicycle.  I had looked in all the shops and gone on several test rides, but even the high-end frames felt lifeless to me. At that time I was on an aluminum bike and didn’t like the feel. Carbon seemed too sterile. With its cycling legacy behind it, I knew I wanted steel. But not just any piece of cold steel between my legs would do. I wanted something [...]
