Been a busy boy this week,

Got the other track end done and brazed on, don't be afraid of the rattle can spray, its just to stop it rusting while I plow onto stage two.....

A suggestion, if I may :roll: ?

A 4mm rad. on all the rear facing corners of the track ends would make it all look smoother, in my opinion.

Hi, thanks for the comments

I know its still a fair way off, but i'm thinking about how I should build this, paint schemes etc, a name even.....

So far i'm thinking the usual suspects syncros raceface controltech, something a little newer maybe like thompson?

Rims maybe 231 or 117/217? i'll stick with mavic as I have been using them for 20 years.

To recap it was a 1993 frame, and I've got 1997 brakes for it so far.

Hit me with you're ideas

Cheers

Thompson would suit the CNC work you've put in but I've found it a tad bulky for steel frames, well the stem anyway. Same goes for syncros. Ringle zooka is a nice CNC stem thats quite svelte. Some monochromatic parts with a nice paint job for the frame would be cool, the singular cycles paint is very pleasing at the moment.

Not a lot to say,

Its a hub, its made from a few that I modified and an old seatpost
Installed sealed bearings as I suck at maintenance, I prefer to ride!

weight: 220g

Finish is glass aggregate shot, I thought about polishing it but honestly it seemed like to much work
