Winter project....Wooden derailleur

[futuristicoldman]

It will probably resemble a mavic 850. If I really get in the mood then it may look like nothing you have ever seen before. More than likely it will end up like a 6th form project and will shatter into 100 bits as soon as I try and make a shift.....but you never know, you may all be queueing up for one

Does anybody have one of those old bullet bros derailleur springs floating about by any chance? I know I have one somewhere but im buggered if I can find it.


Edit.....Found it. 1 lump of wood, 1 spring.....Practically finished

Metal expands and contracts.

Hard wood can be ever so good.

Got started this evening, roughly shaped the cage which im sure will be the only simple part. I dont know what form its going to take yet, I think it will be made up as I go along.
