One of my oldest friends, also called Mads, needs a new gravel bike. He's not in a position where he can buy a new custom frameset so we are trying a different approach. I have had non specific tubes and bits floating around the workshop for a while and we are going to build him a frame with this.
You all might remember him from my early work. He was 50% of Hulsroy & Gundersen and was a big part of developing the cargo bikes I built back in 2012-2014.
Anyways, I think I will just put the frame together and he will file and finish it himself. We no longer share a workshop but he has his own where he lives.
Frame geo will replicate his existing Trek but modernised. Longer head tube and lower BB... and disc brakes. AND the cable routing will be Happyman Cable Huggers™
Dropouts are yet be decided, but it's an obvious candidate for trying something new and I have some flat plate Magic Beans in mind, which I think I might also want to use on @Tijmen 's new Rando.
Same. I consider myself a Bricoleur.
Obstructions makes decision making easier as well and grounds the design.
This is exactly what 3d printing suffers from imo
Well this next one might be for you then.
