I just read an article in a british bike mag about a frame builder who, for a price, will teach people how to custom braze and make the steel frame of your type (29'er, single speed, geared, etc.) they come to his town for a week, and build their own frame. Does anyone know of a place or company in the states that can do that?

We do. Check out our site at www.mintcycles.com . We can help you build a steel or titanium frame. Drop us a line and we can get into more details. We use Anvil tooling, which is probably the new high standard in the industry.

Hey mintbiker

Do you know of any frame building classes in wastern Canada. I looked at your website and it seems to be what I'm looking for but it's way to far away for me.

Thanks

Check out the Hotlinks section and look for Brew; he has frame building classes.
