Alex Rankin and The Bicycle Academy teamed up to create a fantastic film, where they invited legendary frame builder Tom Ritchey in to compare old school frame building techniques to new frame building techniques. It’s great to hear Tom’s perspective on steal, his time saving techniques and bikes in general. For information more visit TheBicycleAdadamy.com.
