James281098 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Can I ask how much all this cost like the tubing and everything else ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike425 Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 This is full reynolds butted so pretty pricey. About £150 in tubes, brazing kit, about 1k? im half way through it now, pretty pleased so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike425 Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Thanks for all the positive comments so far. There are a couple of bits I am already not happy with design wise, but this is the beauty of building your own, there is always something to change on future builds! I am going to fabricate some steel plate chainstay protectors and incorporate them into a reinforcing bridge so they all look slick. I built this frame around an old pair of middleburn square taper cranks. This meant I could try something with a 100mm bb, I basically have massive tyre clearance but the chainstays are dead straight so the rear should be mega stiff. This would limit future ISIS cranks but it was something I really wanted to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Have you got a close up picture of the disc mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike425 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I will take some close ups on Saturday. The disc tab needs a reinforcing brace putting on there. The frame is at my dads work shop, unfortunately I am stuck at the office job for a week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
