Alex Dark Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 quote = mikee ah pics. looks realy good man. hows your rear brake mounting setup going? And the rest.... all good? much flex anywhere? Cheers dude, so good actually...Uber stuff, really easy ti adjust, thanks to customised mounts Literally the stiffest frame I've ridden...way better than the Coustellier V2 in that respect! quote = Stanners Amazing mate. Well done. You wantin to get a job in the bike industry? Rob I'd love to....Inspired or Onza looking? Quote = Bigman Very Impressive Alex! Always thought hoffmann had it right with that style of brake mount! all you need to do now is make some tidy little machined magura mounts that fit in there loverly! Adam Thanks a lot Adam, I reckon it's a great idea...so impressed with the brake parts. I just used some standard Magura mounts, then milled them down to no plastic washers and took some excess material off the top and bottom to minmise height of booster area.

Bet youre proud as hell, had a warm fuzzy feeling watching that video, cant imagine how it makes you feel riding it Lets hope it doesnt crack now Aw thanks a lot Forteh, and thankyou for your help! All tubing was 6082 T6 1.63mm ( 16swg ) tubing. All round profile, with the chainstays being rolled to shape. Absolutely stunning. And it's survived some proper riding! Guessing it's been heat treated? Cheers Yeh well i took some bails on it...all gravy so far! Nope! didn't think I could afford it, im impressed that a frame with supposedly 20% of the strength round the welds of a treated one handled that fine... Although, getting it Heat treated in th next few weeks, so back on the coust for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Did you have it heat treated after welding at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Did you have it heat treated after welding at all? Nope! not a sausage... I understand how important it is though I'll have it done soon to hopefully make Project Frame Video number 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
