From the mailbag: A new framebuilder opening up shop in Columbus

My name is Adam. I run a bike based website right now here in Columbus. Stanridgespeed.com. Just wanted to let you know I quit my full time job recently and am headed out to Oregon to NBI to learn frame brazing. I have a pretty knowledgeable background when it comes to mechanics having worked on a SCCA racing team.

In February I will launch a new website and begin running my own handmade bike company here in the city with the hopes of having 5 complete frames and two complete bikes in the late spring of 09. I'm really excited and am following my passion. I'm not going to get rich however, I'll be happy as hell! I'll keep you posted!

Thanks Ray,

Adam Eldridge
