@coldharbour and @danstuff have been made moderators... which merely means that they can delete stuff, move stuff out of this forum to other forums.

General advice to moderators: Do nothing unless asked, and even then consider doing nothing :)

Ah, but what if they're asked to do nothing?

Sorry, but cider

They can ignore the request ;)

I should also be a mod. I've thought about frame building a lot and decided it's easy which means I'm in the top 10. Probably top 5.

Gulp. I feel the cold hand of responsibility upon my shoulder. I shall try to prove myself worthy through prodigious inactivity.

Oh shit, he actually did it.

It's easy to undo, but hey... current projects is really interesting, and frame building is too... I like new areas :)

I like new areas

Come to south east london, its nice .. full of framebuilders

They've mostly moved out to Bristol now, WHERE THEY BELONG!

Bristol is gurt lush, innit.

How do you type that with 6 fingers on each hand?

Isn't that Norfolk? I thought in Bristol they just have hairy palms?

Does @hoops get mention here too? I feel he belongs here and has something to offer.

Yes I view painting as part of frame building.

Painters, machinists, all and sundry come from far and wide!

People with f/1.4 lenses?

Bokeh much?

Am I allowed to have my own personal TJD frame building thread? I will be collating a gradn total of 1 example of Ted James' work - my dream bike!

Ted and I are ready to start designing and building my super-duper SuperTed all singing and dancing bike. When I say we, I mean he... I will just be nodding and smiling every step of the way.

@Hulsroy

Forum description: "The dark arts of metal glue-gunning" please!

Totally, the more the merrier.

It's a well known fact that all I have to offer this forum is bad tattoos and an even worse sense of humour.
@Señor_Bear can attest to this.

The paint porn thread could be merged into the custom paint thread, they cover the same ground.

I'll leave that up to @Velocio, but deffo see the logic.
