sharpey1 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 Well,here it is eveyone,after nine months of building and developement,my baby is finished,the pictures will do most of the talking.All i can really say is the plans were all done by hand,the welders were excellent,a very big thankyou to Stuart,his knowledge of steel is vast,and he was a great help in the planning stage.The headstock bolt is 12mil,i know this may upset some of you,but thats what i wanted,and after rigorous testing,no faults were found,and its me who has to live with it!The front axles 20 mil,the seat is my old libre seat,RS rail covers,and yes a horizontal swan neck,6mm plate all round,and ice cool graphics,no i am not the devil,i don't worship satan,got the idea off a tee shirt.Total cost £360.00,already had wheels,so just polishing stuff,labour and steel,plus splashguard and front hub,cheap as chips!! enjoy the pics.
