• I don't think it's very easy to get on.

    My super serious ratings system is based around knowing who is teaching you. With Geoff you know who you are getting, someone who has a history of building frames professionally. With the bicycle academy you might get any number of people, lots of them really good frame builders in their own right, but you not know who until you get there. The guys from downlands are predominantly frame building teachers, not frame builders per se and I'm sure you will leave with a great frame from there, but I'd want someone miserable and jaded teaching me if I was doing one of the courses.

  • Geoff certainly qualifies on the miserable front. Not sure about jaded. He can be a bit too perky for that. But @Cycliste has just ordered a new touring frameset from him, and I'm about to book another framebuilding course in August, so he's obviously doing something right.
