Founder and visionär Robert Piontek is still teaching courses after more than 10 years at Big Forest Frameworks.  His dream started just like yours.  Bored at work and wanting to do something different, he took the plunge and managed to build a lugged fixed gear frame. He finally found what he was looking for, the experience of creating, which had been missing from his life for far too long.

Master mechanic and the frame builder behind many of the bikes you‘ve seen here recently, Konrad has been working in the bike business for more than 25 years.   In his earlier days he raced road and CX at the highest level in Germany.   He also owned and ran his own bike shop for many years, before joining Big Forest Frameworks in 2022.

That’s right, you!  Our team wouldn’t be complete without you!  Our course participants are looking to get away from the daily grind of their day jobs in front of the computer.   They want to experience the pleasure of building their own frame, creating something with their own hands, that they will enjoy for a lifetime to come!
