Andrew R. Stewart
Andrew R Stewart is a 48-yr. old, NY state born, hobby frame builder
living in Raleigh, NC. He is a bike shop lifer, having started in high
school working at JC Pennys' toy dept. In 1976 he was handed his first
lug and file when hanging out at a competing shop. Since, Andy has
been building an average of a frame or two a year and various
fabrication/repair/tool projects. Always using steel, lugged
construction is the usual, but some fillet work finds it's way in. His
tools reflect his not wanting to spend too much $ on machining or
materials. Andy is still working in the local shop, often riding in.
