Call me foolish, but I was under the impression that YOU personally were building this, not Stout bikes. So essentially the school gave you money so you could have a frame built for yourself. Interesting.

Yes, still alot of work involved on my part though (however more for stout). There is no possible way i could have done it on my own.

It's more of a 'design a product that fills a niche in a chosen market' deal as far as I can tell. Dude is still putting a fair bit of work in and if all works well it should be an awesome frame for street riding.

Well they're expecting a 15? year old to make a frame. Lets be somewhat sensible, he can't

Why couldn't he? I'm going to try making a minibike frame as a project this summer. (I've been learning to weld for the past year or two) Welding isn't exactly an impossible task. Yeah it's hard and it takes a lot of practice but it's not an impossibility.

half your Taiwanese frames are probably made my 15/16 year old's to be honest here. Only thing is they have been welding since the age of 8

He could have rented a jig, or shop space making that part if it nice and easy
