Sam Nichols Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 How much does it weigh?Whats the geometry?How much would you sell them for??I'd be really interested in buying one if you make some more, think it looks lush in the raw white.

Sam Nichols Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Maybe you could make one out a higher density? Then you'd be able to ride it?It looks pretty strong in the pictures, maybe could do with some gusseting to strenghten it?But other than that looks sound.

Alan Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) Welds look abit shabby, You've forgotten brake mounts.Is this going to be a rear disc frame?Has it been heat treated?EDIT: Piss taking aside i think it looks quite cool, There are some things about it i really like, Just a shame its the shape of an old(ish) onza.

Radfax Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 looks kool i make my audio layouts at collage from foam/poly type stuff. Its a bit denser that poly to be honest! Looks funk, HT angle looks a bit steem though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br3n Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 polystyrene or styrafoam (sp?) are awesome model making tools... if you want a really nice finnish cover it in car bodyfiller and then spray it, thats how you make plugs for fibrelgass moulds etc! its an effort though!If you want to go down this route you have to spray the foam in two pack paint (used on exteriors of houses) as, ive forgotten the details but something in the bodyfiller will eat the foam and this works as a barrier. then sand/fill/sand/fill/sand/fill etc, filler prime x3 then paint.. you'll have an awesome (but useless) mould!the other alternative is to cad up the drawing and get the model laser cut out of foam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spode@thinkbikes Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 How did you make that without that horrible cringing feeling running down your back?The THOUGHT of polystyrene is making me feel horrible!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 How did you make that without that horrible cringing feeling running down your back?The THOUGHT of polystyrene is making me feel horrible!!It's not like the polystyrene that you get if you buy a telly and it comes packed in it. It's more like dense foam type stuff, doesn't squeak like the usual kind as far as I can remember! It's lovely stuff!Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Now put it in green sand and pour molten aluminum in it, then you'd be getting some where, like having a 10 pound, solid one piece, mod frame... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
