Re: Wade Patton Velo
Hey there Wade,
I was a grand treat to meet you at NAHBS this year and hope to see you again soon. I always look forward to getting a call from the Wade Patton workshop to hear the latest buzz and keep up with your progress towards full time framebuild-ery. I admire that you've been very humble and honest about your start in the business (pre business) and I respect you for giving credit where credit is due to some good people like Rody,Tim, Richard, DW and the like. I guess that my question revolves around your connection with these guys.
With all the information that is out there on the internet, what about the human connection has been so important to assist you in your adventure? What types of things have you learned from other builders that you could have never learned by reading a "how to" guide?
