craigjames Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 They do look pretty damn nice, what tubing are you using? Who's welding them up? I mean credentials experience etc? I guess they're Tig welded and what sort of prices are they coming out at for a standard frame and with custom geo? Got to say though Pete, look tidy.

wip-bikes Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Website is being really buggy with some pages not loading. What price is a stock frame? Yeh sorry about the site, its havin a lot of work done on it, im cracking the whip on the designer ! Stock, mod and dirt Retail at £349. All materials are sourced in the UK 100% handmade inhouse in our nottingham workshop. Depending on customer needs we tailor the tubing to the rider, using a mix of Reynolds and T-45 steel with super hard bottom brackets, head tubes and dropouts they are frames that last longer than ability! Disk tabs can be added upon request After all, they are custom Thanks again guys.Oh and the mod frames range from 1.39-1.79kg Depending on brake and bash mounts.

Luke Rainbird Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Those weights are seriously impressive, what sort of wall thicknesses are you using to get them that low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualjoe Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Definitely interested, the dropouts are super cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Sick, well if you come over on sunday i'll keep an eye out for you. I'll be the guy on a stripped Speedrace stock falling about all over the Red Route Be cool to have a bounce and see what it rides like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wip-bikes Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 They range depending on the riders preference, style of riding and weight. Sticking to double butted tubing keeps the weight reasonable and retains the strength. Im 85 kg and ride at things hard with zero signs of fatigue on the frame.

Luke Rainbird Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Ok, but for something like that 1.4kg mod frame what sort of figures were you going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wip-bikes Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 For example the main tube butts are as folows, 100mm @ 20swg down to 22swg over 300 mm back up to 20 swg over 100 mm with 75mm step up and step downs Hers some info on why i use high quality steel too :)http://reynoldstechnology.biz/assets/pdf/rtl_steel_alloys_extract.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt jumper jake Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Really considering one of these as my next frame, theyre steel yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wip-bikes Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Theres a comp frame in the pipe line, gonna be triple butted and super light, fingers crossed, and if my maths is up to scratch, 1.1kg for the mod and 1.25kg for the stock. On paper it works, however in the workshop it varies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Looks clean, would be good if you have custom options like Marino bikes http://www.marinobike.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
court Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I'm pretty sure he will be doing all/most of the custom options like Marino does on his... Very impressed with these after seeing it today dude! Wasn't expecting the stock to be that light and stiff especially for the first one. Ride again soon, and I'll try and get some sort of idea for mine put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
