Canardweb Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Here it is... Finally. Thanks a lot to Tartybikes for the awesome service and the amazing parts. They just sent me a echo 72 freewheel when I bought an SL 108 but I can't do anything now so I'll just stick with it. I made my own frame using 6061 tubing. It is basically the same as my Marino except it has a different geo and that it is 1,8 instead of 2,2. I just used the same stuff than for the marino. Gussets in the same area, triple seat tubes except the gussets are a bit longer, the tubes are internally butted, I cut a square hole in the front and I added more tire clearance. I used my Marino frame to make the tool to assemble the tubes and weld them. The geo is: 1090;+90;72;380 and my Marino was 1100;+70;72;375. This bike is awesome but I only have been riding it for 2 days now. Specs: Drivetrain: -Trialtech Lite BB -Try-All cranks 175 mm -Echo 72 freewheel -Speedrace bashring -Z610 HX chain -Onza Hognesium pedals Rear Wheel: -Trialtech SL rear rim -ECHO TR 135mm rear hub -Sapim black spokes -Continnetal Rain King tire -15T sprocket Front Wheel: -Trialtech Square-holed front -ECHO TR front hub -Sapim black spokes -Kenda Karma tire Steering: -Trialtech 150*30° stem -Rockman Carbon Handlebars -Trialtech grips -Trialtech magura forks Brakes: -Front post-2005 HS33 long lever -Rear post-2005 HS33 long lever -Front black (colour match!)

Luke Rainbird Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Always cool to see people making their own stuff. Did you get the frame heat treated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 It's cool you can build frames now, seeing as you change them so often. Now you can make them, even more convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 It's cool you can build frames now, seeing as you change them so often. Now you can make them, even more convenient. The last frame I had was the mist. I bought it one year ago. I don't think it's that often. The 90 bb rise is quite weird at first but I got used to it pretty fast thanks to the mod stem. I feel it helps all my techniques, especially up to fronts. It is just weird for taps. Yes of course it got heat treated. It got heated, then cooled down really fast and got reheated a bit. (sorry I don't know the technical words in English for metallurgic stuff). This treatment is a T6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxx Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) If you had read you would have spotted it. 1,8 kilos Sorry, I don't know why I thought it was the tube's thickness. Can you post more detailed pics of your frame ? (if you have time) Oh and before you made your own frame, did you searched for companies which make homemade aluminium frame ? If yes can you tell me the name ? Edited May 2, 2011 by Maxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I don't have time for other photos as I work 6 days on 7 and as I work 50 hours a week. I'll give it a try though. I didn't search for other companies and I don't know any. Sorry. soo nice that is. bet that rides lush as It does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
