Video of Brian Chapman at his workshop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Osf1lvfkMq4

I've seen his work in person at Philly Bike Expo, and it's stunning.

LOL i think those rusty lugs he pulled out 2 minutes in are the ones i gave him 4-5 years ago. Glad to see he's putting them to use. Makes me think, I should give him the last of my NOS columbus max tubes..

That guy is a gem. One of the truly nice guys out there, and a tremendous craftsman.

Yeah. He really does great work and a great guy. I spent a lot of time with him on the quiet Friday of Hartford NAHBS.

Of course I called him Rex Chapman. I clearly watched way too much basketball in the 90s.

His work is always so good. He posts lots of interesting work-in-progress on his Instagram, too.
