The soldering legend

Urs Jaudas

No one can build frames like him, they say. A visit to Walter Schor in Gränichen. He is a master solderer. Hardly anyone can solder sleeves, the connecting pieces between two steel tubes, with tough brass as well as he can. Schor has soldered around 5,000 frames in his lifetime. Today, the 79-year-old still works in his workshop, although he has stopped producing frames.
