    Default Help Wanted @ IF - Wanna learn how to build frames?

    IF has a rare opening for an entry level position. Come join our merry band of frame-building pirates and learn from the inside. The current need is for someone to support the paint function, primarily blasting and sanding frames, but everyone at IF is flexible and rolls where there is need, and if you are motivated, you can learn all the skills that you need to build frames.

    The job pays survivable wages (barely), but offers full health and dental benefits after a probationary period, along with a fun and flexible work environment.

    If you are a dependable, high integrity person that knows how to laugh and is eager to learn, send your info to either gary@ifbikes.com or lloyd@ifbikes.com.

    I'll send you guys a resume for file in a few years when I retire from the military. Barely survivable wages coupled with an officer retirement would equal a dream job. If you guys don't have a job at the time, I'll have to be a crossing guard or Walmart greeter.
    I heart brown bikes.

    This is so tempting
    Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated.

    Man, that's tempting.

    Let's see ...

    51-year-old newspaper editor, wife is a nurse, daughter wants to go to George Washington, two houses on the block that haven't sold.

    Oh wait. Reality. Sh*t.

    Mom: He was very sickly until he started riding around on that bicycle.


    Dad: Yeah... well... now his body's fine, but his mind is gone.

    For all the folks that say there is no way to get into the framebuilding biz nowadays - the door just opened very wide.

    Time to fish or cut bait.

    SteveP, you're a man of distinction. Don't cut bait. Tie flies.

    I really like that you posted this notice, GSmith sir. I hope someone is able to take advantage of this. Unfortunately, my marriage contract requires that I become independently wealthy prior to such adventures.

    Yes, and remember that all framebuilders must be dry-fly fishermen :angel:

    I gots a stick and some string you can use. I also have a polka-dot handkerchief you can tie onto it to stash your belongings in should you decide to runaway to be a framebuilder.
