Don Ferris runs a company called Anvil Bikeworks. It’s a three-person, three-dog, shop in Colorado where some of the world’s finest bicycle frame building fixtures are produced. These pieces look so good and work so well you have to admire the quality, both mental and manual, that’s gone into them. Little-known fact: Don Ferris is one of the architects of the judging criteria used for the NAHBS awards. His knowledge of frame building is that good, and he uses it – along with his artisanal vocation – to produce better and better tools for frame builders. This video provides an insight not only to what Ferris does, but also the many manufacturing challenges to be overcome in producing a good bicycle frame.
