Frame Building Course: Lugged Steel Fixie
Build your own
custom lugged fixie!
In this 4 Day frame building course you will:
* learn how to build a classic frame with lugs
* help to design the frame geometry to fit your riding style and size
* cut the tubes, file, and braze them together
* at the end you will have built your own custom lugged frame that you can be proud of
Lugged. Brazed. Frames.
Building a frame with lugs is the perfect course for everyone that wants a bike that will stand the test of time. The tubes are connected with lugs, and steel is the only material that can be used to build a lugged frame. I have a nice selection of lugs that you can choose from to build your frame.
Using lugs to create a bike strengthens the frame where it needs it the most, at the joints. And they look pretty, too, especially compared to run of the mill welded frames you can buy. It’s also a great technique for beginners as it is easy to learn.
It could be yours.

This is what you get.
1. When and Where
The Lugged Frame Building Course lasts 4 days. The course takes place in my workshop in Potsdam-Babelsberg (only 30 minutes from Berlin via the S-Bahn). Please send me a message to enquire about course dates. There are a maximum of 4 students.
2. What you can build
In the Lugged Frame Building Course you can build a road bike, singlespeed, fixie, cyclocross, gravel, or a trekking bike. For a mountain bike you’ll need to take a look at our Fillet Brazed Frame Building Course.
3. Difficulty level
Lugged frames are beautiful. And they can only be built with steel. Because it is relatively fast and easy to build a frame with lugs, it’s a great technique for beginners. And the results are something you can really be proud of.
4. What you do
Everything. Some frame building courses concentrate more on the theory. In some courses tubes are already cut before you get there. In my opinion cutting and brazing is the bread and butter of frame building. In my courses, under my direction, you will build the frame completely by yourself.
5. What I do
I have all the tools you’ll need to build your frame, plus thousands of hours of experience building pretty much every kind of bike you can think of. Working together, you can build your own frame that you will go home happy with.
6. Extras
Material costs are not included in the course fees. The material cost can vary quite a bit from frame to frame. The typical material cost for a lugged frame is around 250 Euro, but can go as high as around 600 Euro. The material cost for a fork is around 100 Euro.

“Vielen Dank nochmal für die grandiose Woche! Der Rahmenbaukurs war einfach der Hammer, besser kann man seinen Urlaub kaum verbringen! Die Arbeit mit dir hat riesig Spaß gemacht und ich habe eine Menge gelernt! Der Rahmen ist wunderschön geworden und ich bin mächtig stolz darauf. Die Geometrie passt perfekt und das Rad fährt sich noch besser als ich es mir vorgestellt habe!”

“Nochmal vielen Dank für diese tolle Woche! Der Kurs hat mir viel Spaß gemacht und ich bin auch richtig stolz auf das Ergebnis. Ich finde, dass Du das klasse machst. Bist immer ruhig und gelassen geblieben, hast alles gut und verständlich erklärt und die Bastelei hat sich in keiner Sekunde wie „Arbeit“ angefühlt oder war irgendwie langweilig :-)”

“Sorry for bothering you with pictures from my bike. I tested it today for the first time and it was fantastic. I usually do not tend to be super-enthusiastic and there were of course some minor issues (like getting the position of the saddle right etc) but this was by far the most convincing test-ride ever. Super stable, yet agile, very direct. I loved every second with it.”
