The Resident Oracle
Jamie joined I.F. in 1998 after four years as a Boston bicycle messenger. He worked in the finishing department for three years before moving to tacking and machining. As head of the tacking department Jamie is responsible for tube selection, custom frame design, tack welding of each frame and tool making. Other responsibilities at I.F. among many things include computer troubleshooting and he has shot the photography for the last two catalogs. In his free time Jamie takes landscape, nocturnal, and insect photographs. He can be spotted morning and evening on the longest commute at I.F. riding the Brown Bird, a custom designed titanium supercommuter, a 26" wheeled road bike with disk brakes with clearance for studded snow tires. He has put thousands miles on it in the last few years.
