Die Wundersame Fahrradwelt, Radlmädchen, and Benu Bags

A little while back, Big Forest Frameworks had the pleasure of hosting an eventful frame building course, which brought together a trio of special guests: Johanna Janke from the “Die Wundersame Fahrradwelt” podcast, Juliane Schumacher aka Radlmädchen, and Timo Jahnke of Benu Bags. It was a delightful experience, and over the course of an unforgettable week, we completed three beautifully fillet-brazed gravel and road frames.

Although none of the participants had much of any prior experience with metalwork, they all brought their unique skills to the workshop and learned a great deal. However, you don’t just have to take my word for it; you can get the full scoop directly from the frame builders themselves.

Juliane wrote an incredibly detailed blog post about her experience at Big Forest Frameworks, which is perhaps the most comprehensive account ever penned by a participant of our courses. You can read her insights here (note, the blog post is in German):

Additionally, an engaging interview with Konrad, me, and some insights into our frame building courses can be found on the “Die Wundersame Fahrradwelt” podcast. Listen in here for the first part:
