What would i need to begin welding bicycle frames? I know that the alloy frames require a special technique. Is it difficult to acquire the skills to do this?
Thanks in advance

Most bike welding is done with a TIG machine. It isn't cheap, but will give the best results. As far as learning the technique, some are naturals and others can try for a lifetime. If you really want to learn check your local tech schools for classes.
