I'd quite like to do that in the future...who knows though...just going to see how this turns out

there's no way you couldn't....my DK was rubbing on the coust badly and it pissed me off all day. Only made the tiniest indent though...

Turn up at a comp...have a look then ask to ride the section when everyones finished sorted.

Exactly... Yeh too true, would annoy me having to carry around a (12mm?) Spanner wherever I went....

T-pro are fairly epic starter bikes..plenty of people ride them to a damn high level now., Gets my vote

If anyone's interested....a predicted weight from solidworks ( excluding welds ) is 1.613kg 1.5mm tubing used pretty much all over. The brake area is constructed from 3mm plate. Material is 6061 t6 aluminium

I'm sorry...but the pictures are terrible resolution, and sooo dark

Yes Siree... Here is a rendering of the latest revision of the frame. I need to get the design all sorted by MOnday...so any pointers would be brilliant Cheers

Yehhhh just was pretty harsh ( read gouged and cut ) I'd like to point out It was only on a spare rim

Are those bars try-all yourself....but risers? Never seen any before.... in other news, bike looks tidy Nice work

4inch grinder is the norm...I have used a 9" with pretty interesting results

Righto So worth the slight weight penalty? The frame is currently 2.2KG with no gussetts, although I'm sure the tubing is currently too thick. Ill design one up now then....Cheers Craig

I'm 5 8" and ride a Coustellier V2 that measures up at 1110 with my forks

Here is the frame so far.....I'm thinking now it could do with pitbull 06 style "wings"? or do we think that would be a bit OTT?

erm... Plymouth, United Kingdom : 20

My tensile freewheels were ace....but i've only heard good things about the TR and SL echo freewheels. If i went FFW again It'd definitely be an echo now

Haha I'm excited to actually...ordering materials soon, I'll be starting work just after half term. Yup, that was a Koxx prototype and a Hoffman Bikes frame. Has anyone got any info on wall thickness?

Kona P2 forks...now discontinued I think. A quick google search may prove otherwise If they are as i suspect then Ebay or the wanted section here would be your best bet. Edit: Click here

Don't mind toptube graphics...downtube looks horrible though.

make a frame jig to hold each component of the frame. The solidworks model is built around a virtual jig so will give me all the tubing lengths too Okay, Topic bump. I now need to start ordering materials....has anyone got any other improvements for the frame? I'll put up some renderings tomorrow of the finished seat tube and reinforced brake mount area. In the mean time, I DESPERATELY need wall thicknesses for my frame. If anyone could shed any light on this, it would be a great help. Like the tubing thickness of a koxx, say, and an Adamant. I can then cad model this and get the weight to the target. Mainly I need to know the approximate ratios between wall thickness on different parts of the bike. Also, when a bike is reduced on weight...are all the tubing all over made thinner? or just specific areas? Cheers Alex.

Bike looks naiiice, sure it rides ace

Erm....I quite like the Viz hubs, no idea on price though. I'm sure the TT sealed hub is fairly decent too.

the hole in them is drilled to 10mm, the King bolts are 12mm. Thus they will not fit
