How do you upload bigger pics on here? I get a size limit of 512kb your Foil pic is over 2meg!
How does that workout :roll:

?? it is only 108kb i thought , i often use paint to crop everything unnecessary and then resize to get down to 512 and the pixel width

Internal cables too ;-)

do the outer cables run through the frame or are these stops and just the inners ?

I've managed to post links,from Flickr so will just use that to big pics. Such a pain to edit photos all the time

Yep the outers run through the frame, I built small carbon tubing into the frame. Essentially this seals the inner frame from water ingress, allows easy installation of replacement cables and gives a pretty much sealed cable for much of its run

did you coat all the alloy bits with epoxy and then let the resin cure ? the interior tubes sound like a PITA too , i would have just drilled a drain hole at the bottom ...

Yeh all of the alloy was coated and sealed so shouldn't get any corrosion. It gets soooo wet and muddy in winter over here so thought it best keep any moisture out completely. A lot of work involved though and then once sealed up no one will ever see it. Ah well

Wow A+ for effort.

Do you have any toe overlap issues? Wheelbase looks really short?

 

[Clannagh]

No problems, there's about 2" clearance from end of my shoe to front wheel. It's a medium frame overall the wheelbase is slightly shorter than my other Trek but not much. I think it just looks deceptively short as it's higher at over 300mm bb height (I'll have to measure it again I forget exact figure, think its 320/330mm. Also the front frame now sits slightly more slanted back than the original.
This pick was mid build after going out for a test run before altering the seatpost angle, it sits far to back
