Frame Building Experience

At WKNDR, we love the process of designing and building great bikes and we want to let you experience it too. Every quarter, we will be inviting two participants to spend seven days to be guided through the whole frame building process by award winning frame builder Ricky Feather and special guests.

  • Day 1 - Bike fitting and frame design

  • Day 2 - Learn to fillet braze and silver solder

  • Day 3 - Tube Mitring, braze-ons and tube preparation

  • Day 4 - Join front triangle, chain stays and check alignment

  • Day 5 - Seat stay slotting, mitring and joining

  • Day 6 - Reaming, facing, thread chasing, final alignment

Your six day Frame Building Experience will include all materials, consumables and safety equipment and will conclude with an un-filed fillet brazed or lugged steel frame. Lunch, coffee, tea, soft drinks and water will be provided each day.

We can supply forks and any full build kits of your choice and can discuss pricing during your experience.

Participants will be sent by post, an in depth printed guide book including more information about what you can expect to learn each day, local cycling routes with distances you can enjoy before or after each day and accommodation ideas for your stay.

Price for six day experience - £2700

Paint Experience

Not only can you build your own frame, but we are also offering you the chance to spend two full days with Jack Kingston as he guides you through painting your own bike.

This two day experience will allow you to observe and join in with the creative side of the paint process. The frame will be prepped and primed prior to your arrival so you get to enjoy all the fun bits with none of the mess or monotony of paint preparation.

  • Day 1 - Design, paint mask weeding, first colour, masking of graphics

  • Day 2 - Second colour, flatting, clear coat, nibbing and polishing

Your 2 day Paint Experience will include two solid paint colours (no pearls or metallics), materials, consumables and safety equipment and will conclude with a two colour painted frame.

Price for 2 day paint experience - £800
