Fill, sand, repeat. Switch pivot and dogbone. Laser cut acrylic layers again. 14 bits of it in the linkage alone. Full travel. I'd already made a cassette, but at this point realised that I was going to have to make a better one. The project sort of turned a corner here in terms of my own...

Frame built out of layers of laser cut styrene. Styrene is a bit softer than Acrylic so will sand back a bit nicer once the whole thing is slicked over with filler. Fill, sand, repeat. Rear triangle was built out of styrene bent around various jigs and forms. The jig to line up all of the...

Thanks. Always nice to get praise from someone who understands the work. What sort of model making did you do? I've been Architectural for the last eight or nine years. Did freelance stuff before that for about ten, mainly museum and telly stuff. A couple of years ago we got the gig to build a...

Stay tuned for further updates. Big fan of Frank. Apostrophe played a big part in soundtracking this build.

Thanks Yakboy. I'm normally my own worst critic, but this one is something that I am actually really proud of the result. Your signature "you're not making this easy for yourself are you???" could not be more appropriate.

Welcome. More the merrier.

3D printing is cheating. I see it as a bit like printing a picture and thinking you've painted it. That said there is one bit that I ended up 3D printing because it was going to be too expensive to make "properly".

There is more of this. Lots more...

Thanks, it's been quite a saga. Welcome.

Tyre jig to check fork brace clearance. More on the tyres later. They were a pain in the harris.

Stacked 1mm Acrylic plates for the crown. Jig to hold everything straight. Turned chemiwood uppers. Bit of filler.... Laser cut fork brace. Forgot to mention, I didn't want to use 3D printing for any this. Sort of feels like cheating when it comes to model making.

Can you guess what it is yet? That's the rebound adjuster done... just the rest of it to get finished now.

Afternoon. Been holding back on sharing this build for a while. Until I knew that it was going to work I didn't really want to go public with it. Having decided that I was only going to work on it when I wanted to, I knew that it was going to take a while. That way I was confident that I...

Found it. 140mm c-c, 0 degree rise. All bolts and bungs present and correct. £23.45 posted to UK?

Haven't forgotten. Haven't found it yet. Haven't looked everywhere yet.

I think I have an all-red one if that's any good to you...

I'm pretty sure that I have a silver 1" Ritchey WCS quill stem lurking around somewhere. Unsure of length and angle, but likely somewhere around 120-130mm and 5 degrees. Can dig it out at the weekend and check if you like.

I'd expect it to work for that sort of money...
