Thanks for the information. I was under the impression that Tobin was a frame builder. He and Dewayne are the only guys I know by name at the shop. I'm intrigued that Dewayne is building tig frames. Hopefully they are more economical than the lugged and fillet brazed frames from Freddies.
I almost stopped in the shop today but we were trying to get back to the north side before the rain hit. It's a long drive down there but it's the only shop I've found that fits my interests. Surly's on the floor and Brooks saddles on the wall aren't very common around here!
