Paul Gibson | Framebuilder & Scribler Framebuilding is the last remnant of Britain’s engineering crafts that still produces for everyday use. It’s not art, not industry, not hobby. It’s the workshop as it once was... small, skilled, local, and quietly moral.
Paul Gibson | Framebuilder & Scribler There are only a handful of us left who still build and repair steel bike frames. Framebuilding grew from the old working-class engineering shops, the same lineage that powered the Industrial Revolution. It’s not nostalgia; it’s what happens when care stubbornly survives against so-called progress.
