What kind of crazy poll is this?
C’mon really? Sure there a maybe a few Pinkbike members who could build their own frames, but then I’ve seen plenty of wtf bikes around.

Why can’t you check all of the versions of building things? Also, carbon can easier to work with than welding. Especially when you use beryllium.

Been there, done that. Why wasn't that an option?
