Canada’s Premier Framebuilding COurse:

A two-week introduction to the foundational

knowledge and skills required to construct a fillet-brazed bicycle frame.

Based out of studio in Squamish, BC, this two-week course takes you through the process of designing and fabricating your own bicycle frame. Although being handy, having an interest in technical skills, or trades/shop background is helpful, you do not need to have prior fabrication experience to be successful in this course. 

  • Cost: $2,900 CAD

  • Includes: One hour of pre-class personalized consult time either in person (if local) or by phone/zoom to discuss your desired bicycle frame, fit, and geometry design.

  •  Two weeks of in-shop classes, Mon-Fri, 9-4:30, located in Squamish BC

  • Starting at the beginning with brazing and fabrication lessons, then moving into full frame construction.

  • Practice 4130 steel tubes, and all necessary shop materials.

  • A frame tubeset and frame braze-ons specific to your frame design.

  • Your very own hand-built bicycle frame at the end of two weeks!

  •   This course is designed to teach you the foundational aspects of framebuilding with regards to fit, function, and developing the skills to go from tubes to frame - and as such does not include significant custom elements such as; sliding dropouts, rocker dropouts, modular dropouts, stainless steel tubing or dropouts, full-suspension designs, fat bike designs, yokes, 29+ tires, super-boost spacing, UDH, curved tubes, extreme oversized or shaped tubes, internal routing, S&S or Z-couplers, extra-light tubing (Spirit etc), press-fit bottom brackets, or designs beyond standard diamond-shaped frames.
