Here’s what recent students had to say about the experience.
“I’m a bicycle nerd, one who reads tubing catalogs and reads the reviews of tube set performance. This class put all that into perspective. It was amazing. Learning how each tube choice, each angle, each joint can be utilized for quality and utility was mind blowing. Getting to actually hold the torch and making it all come together was thrilling. Bicycles are more than the tube composition and butt profile, they’re a tuned machine, and Casey knows how to build them to purpose. The knowledge I gained in this class has put every bike I’ve ever ridden into a new light, and every bike I will build into a study of the art. I can’t imagine frame building without a class like this. Amazing experience”.
“I think we literally built the best bike I have, or damn close. This thing goooooooeeeeeeeesssssss”
I’m really sorry about how this turned out. I unintentionally broke the rules of the peoples choice contest @phillybikeexpo . I did not understand the implications of posting the voting online, as I thought all non local votes would be thrown out. Im truly sorry for any harm I have caused. I regret that this has taken away attention from what should be the focus. Beautiful bikes. And I’m really happy for @memento_cycles on their win. Congrats.
It’s black Friday. Get you a Mars before pricing increases considerably. Today is your chance to get a frame at the old price. Call it a sale, call it what you want. Just get you one. DM to get things rolling.
Our guy @marscycles is going to be at @made.bike this weekend. If you're there, holler at them about this one-of-a-kind hardtail frame with @paragonmachine sliding dropouts, for sale at @kingkogshop
I made a last minute decision and will be @made.bike with @junkyard.cats

Rim brakes are not dead, though you may need to seek out custom and do a deep dive in the parts catalog to live your dreams. @marscycles is a rim-brakes-are-disc-brakes kind of guy and built up this fully mechanical, externally routed road bike for similar dreamers from oversized @columbus_official steel, with an integrated @ritcheylogic seatmast. Lovely bike and build as seen at @phillybikeexpo . #marscycles #rimbrakesarediscbrakes #savetherimbrake
