Frame exchange

[edoz]

Drew at Engin posted something on the email list about his exchange deal he had going with a couple of other builders. It sounds like a cool concept, and I was wondering if anyone else had done something similar and was willing to share their experience. Kinda like RS sharing his thoughts on his Gaulzetti. Honestly, I'd like to see this type of thing catch on. Any thoughts?

I think it's just a road bike from Jamie Swan for a MTB by Drew. It's a neat idea

Jamie made Drew an absolutely gorgeous rando style bike with a bi-lam head tube/lugs ala Singer yet thoroughly modern. Really nice. It was at the Cirque this weekend. Drew had the fork for the 29r he is building in exchange. Also really cool. The fork is a segmented, Fat style, and lugged. Super cool as well.

Doesn't everyone just want a J.P. Weigle? I do... but I'm no match.
