  1. If your looking for AC/DC, you can probably get a decent second hand one for 400-500, which is about a quarter of the price you'd pay for a good ally mig, lol. Just have a look on ebay, or try and find a local welding supplier, they normally have second hand plants knocking around . Cheers matey, Josh. Oh, can you get hold of gas easily enough? Not too easy to find places to get it on the sly now-a-days.
  2. If you do, please, o please, spend as much as your budget alows, ally migs are quite specialist bits of kit and they are definitely a pay more, work less jobbie . The machine needs to have a pulse setting, its all about removing the oxide layer with ally welding . Josh.
  3. Adam, i am disappointed good sir, ive got 2 ally migs sat in the workshop doin bob all. Lol, fair do's Ali, anyone have an idea why they've done the downtube gusset like they have though? Cheers all, Josh. Oh, and mite partially build the frame up tomorrow, just to see how it looks .
  4. Lol, not the section of the fourth bridge in the middle, the gusset on the downtube . Josh.
  5. Would of thought this would be human error, rather than the kit. Quite easy to get a bit carried away on a friday afternoon . Josh.
  6. Ahh, ok, just read it again, ritey o, well, we'll see how it goes . Will be different for the next one :$ Cheers, Josh. Edit- Just seen this on tartys- Looks very much like they've welded the down tube before putting the gusset on? Just me?
  7. The welding looks alright in the flesh, its just that i no that i can make it alot neater . With the gussets, i will still be able to weld them to the tubes, ive just tried to maximize the surface area of the weld, if you get what i mean. Im going to sand back the area around the tubes where the gussets will sit, so that it still makes contact with the tube, and re-weld it. Just seems a bit weird to me to leave a void under the gusset, but point taken and agreed . Lol, its something that i really like in ally frames, hate it when the join at the top, even more so when they have about a foot and a half of weld along the two tubes, so im afraid im going to have to say no to that one mr C . Cheers, Josh.
  8. Should fit a 2.5 quite easily, yh, havent tried it yet, but from measuring up different frames, should be fine Ah yeah! didnt originally intend on it being a light weight jobbie All the tubing is 1.6mm wall and after drilling a hole in my dead ozonys and finding it was around 1-1.2mm, i'm quite surprised . Cheers, Josh.

  10. Probably wont be until the new year id of thought, might try and get a couple more done and send them in a batch like . Josh. Oh, and update in 2 secs
  11. I see what you were saying with it, but i prefer showing the build in a time line, if you get what i mean. Personally, i hate seeing build threads where you have to search through how ever many pages to see the build in action, but i do agree with how repetitive it can get when your following the build and i apologise for that . Cheers, Josh.
  12. Lol, ritey o. I should have a good bit of spare time in the next 2 weeks, so there will be more to come shortly . Cheers, Josh.
  13. Pretty sure we are, scrap this one for this weekend .
  14. How do all, heading to Leicester tomorrow, wondering if anyone else wanted in? Will be at the courts for 11ish . Cheers, Josh.
  15. The thing you dont see in the non negative clown picture is that he is molesting a small child. I've heard it's the only thing that turns a clowns frown, upside down. as for the vid, too much jibberjabber as always from mr leech, but did enjoy the edit.
