Paul does some crazy sweet stuff. I've been aware of his bikes for a very long time... well before I ever saw one in person.
Plenty of internet references are out there supporting and talking about his work. His blog is pretty fucking awesome.
Reading the post up there now got me thinking. Most all of those points work for the whole bike industry, and to an extension, ANY craft industry. Where you make something. Where you are exploiting yourself, taking raw materials and adding value purely with your own time and knowledge and skills.
The most noble of professions, no? One where you take the raw materials and create value that didn't exist before without exploitation. Value comes from how well you do it, and if you keep doing it right for a while, it creates interest on itself.
