interesting read re: Brent Steelman's evolution steel, carbon/steel, just steel

[eddief]

actually his whole bike dude history:

makes one think about the art, the craft, the torch, the fumes.

Thanks for posting eddief, good history of an incredible builder. I would love to read something similar from John Slawta (Landshark)...

Great stuff. It is really cool to read about his perseverance to do exactly what he was meant to do. I wonder how many frame builders have a similar story?

Also, there has been a Steelman on ebay for the last few months and it finally sold!

Thanks for the link eddie. I didn't know much about Steelman so it was great to learn about the history and passion of a guy who's been doing it for a long time.
