Ride Lugged

sounds great. don’t mess with frames though. they’re a bit out of your league. your skill is better suited to selling someone on a funny looking hat or bag your wife made. and it’s dumb if you don’t make the frame yourself anyway, and i would not ride a bike you made. but i would rock a sweet micro wedge saddle bag, or a tool roll out of some fine recycled sportscoat, waxed by hand in your oven.
