basher Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Question for you dude, did you manage to make it and keep the geo accurate to what you wanted. As im guessing its hard not only to build it but keep all the geo accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Question for you dude, did you manage to make it and keep the geo accurate to what you wanted. As im guessing its hard not only to build it but keep all the geo accurate.Hmm, as much as I hate to say it, those dropouts look very wide and the head angle very steep.Did you knock up a jig for it?

NVWOCI WVS Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 The dropouts are 134.89 mm, not too bad i'd say and the head angle is 72 degrees. I made a jig, I'll get a photo of the jig tomorow if you want to see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 yeah, i'll get a picture from school tomorow.i made a 2D jig for the front triangle, then a separate one to hold the rear end in position while i brazed it... It will make sense when you seet he picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Looks really good mate, you've done an excellent job.Be gentle on it! My guess is it may snap pretty easily unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I reckon it might do too, but the steel is pretty thick and the brazes are on the beefy side, so might be pleasently suprised!I'm thinking about riding it in Ipswich on Sunday to give it a test, it would be great if some people wanted to come and give it a hammering/evaluate it for me? I need to get some photos of other people riding it too for my coursework to say it's been tested!Only slight issue so far is rear tyre clearence, but I've kinda overcome it by sticking my front tyre on the back and the rear on the front meh, should be fine!
