  1. I'd recognise that Vario anywhere. That's my old frame!
  2. Good vid, Stu. It all looked in fast-forward to me too though?
  3. That is, of course, possible. However, a lot of people need transplants for reasons that are completely no fault of their own, or within their control. For example, my sister was born with a hole in her heart. She had open surgery shortly after birth, and has to regularly visit the hospital for checkups, and several follow-up operations as she's grown up, and is now fully healthy, but in later life there is obviously a much higher chance of her having heart trouble. It is completely plausible that she might need a transplant, and that isn't through her abusing her body.
  4. The rear wheel is 19", the front is 20". This is the standard size for mods. Does that make it easier to imagine?
  5. It would be a lot easier to fly out to the poorer parts of the middle East and buy the neccesary organs for less than £10 a pop, then fly back over here and sell them for profit.
  6. Perhaps in that photo, but not so much in real life?
  7. It has potential to be really sweet, but the ghosts might be really pissed off about being dead, and be a real pain to talk to.
  8. My feet have been published on the internet.
  9. It was just a screenshot from a video of you. By the way, after much deliberation, I went for the deluxe xl frame. Think I might have mentioned it already.
  10. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................ It was a spy shot...
  11. Good plan. It's Sam I used a bb shell and headtube from a 4130 steel xc frame. Definitely a good bet. Definitely a good idea. This is where mine cracked eventually. It was just fillet brazed, but it took a few pretty hefty gaps to front. However, don't make the weld all the way under the down tube, as this will create a weak point and encourage cracking. Get it baked after you've welded it all up
  12. That's the one. It rode really well. 135mm horizontal dropouts and snail cams. I recomend butted steel tubes and brazing it up if you have the skillz with a torch?
  13. I did a frame for my alevel project, and had a few good ideas since doing it... I'll edit this post when I find some pictures... edit: and to prove it was rideable Only problem I had with it was tyre clearance in the rear. I was thinking about making another version with 116mm spacing for a 14mm axle, then I could use a profile BMX hub with a hollow 14mm axle, which will be lighter, stiffer and stronger than 95% of trials hubs and still with awesome engagements etc. Also came up with a really cool integrated brake mount/booster design, where the brake is sandwixhed between two plates. Sound's shit, but it's awesome. I'll try and dig out some cad models and stuff. I have loads of frame Ideas... also eccentric 360 dropout with a bolt-through axle... Have some cad models of that too. No big companies are allowed to steal these ideas by the way, only Alex. erm, msn me if you want to have a chat about some stuff. I can send you a copy of my coursework and that documents all the problems I encountered along the way.
  14. Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. Or, it would probably be less effort and just as effective to make some 12mm shims with 10mm internal Diameter from stainless. edit:replying to luke. Ah right, you wouldn't be able to use your own axle with a pro2, but you could make some adapters to run the hub with the existing bolts in your dropouts. 2nd edit: luke deleted his post. Homo.
  15. Here is the hub without the bolts in: You put it in the dropouts, then you put the bolts in. Simple.
  16. the bolts completely come out of the hub, so when removed, there is effectively no axle sticking out. I reckon it should work fine. I used a pro2 in bolt-through dropouts on my leeson.
  17. The female bolts on a trials Pro2 will allow you to make adapters quite easily to run it in 12m bolt through dropouts
  18. If you change your mind,go for a snowflake! Here's a pattern I made up for my fixed gear bike: It's a 3 leading, 3 trailing, 3 cross snowflake with one twist. But yeah, for 32 hole on 26" wheels, standard 3 cross is the optimum build for strength and rigidity.
