That was great. Did you see the "Naturally Risen" one by the same filmmaker? Very cool.

Wow - that was probably one of my favorite bike building vids - barely any talking and wicked music. Thanks for posting.

Well done

"In the dog eat dog world of frame building, it's simply not enough to just build nice bikes anymore. These days it seems you have to have some tattoos, grow a big beard, or make bikes with fenders. Since I have neither tattoos or a beard, and rarely make fendered bikes, I'm left with few choices. Then along comes a guy named Mike Evans. Says he wants to make a short film of me making a frame. Luckily his idea was light on the fluff and more about the process. As we like to say around here, "When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt." We think he did a great job, and he certainly makes me look cooler than I have a right to think I am. And to top it off I don't need to grow a beard. But you can get fenders on your bike if you want."

Makes it look easy.

Sean Walling is a stud, a gentleman, one hell of a builder, and owns the best "brand" name around. Soulcraft. Phacking awesome!

[Carl S]

Very cool, Sean is dialed.

As someone has already stated, he makes it look way too easy. My 4 year old son was near me as I was watching and as soon it was done he said "let's watch that again, that was cool, he built a bike."

I think it's more borrowed than owned...

"When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt". Love it.

Someone mentioned that the video made it look easy. I think it helps one to realize the myriad of steps involved in making a hand-crafted jewel. I thought it was great.
