Bottomish.

Bottomish yourself.

i did . . . . . . . .

I made a frame in uni. Welding was gash but it was hella short and super strong

I love welding and grinding and cutting etc it's a good time

not sure if i understand but i made some stuff for my bike once. a bash guard- 6mm thick alu, a brake booster (stops the brake bosses splaying out when applying brakes, hence better brakes)-5mm alu, and a rubbish chain device. basically a sheet steel circle bigger than the big chainring which stopped the chain bouncing off the outside when getting rugged. oh and i modded some normal canti levers to work with v brakes. not everyoe will know that normal canti levers and v brakes arent compatible and vice versa, the cable pull is vastly different so useing one with the other results in shite brakes. not rocket science but i was only 16 or so.

how do we make a new group for this shizzle.

nice frame.you ride flatland?

you are a fix punk.

I used to mess about a bit with it, but rode pretty much street only. The frame was a sort of street/flat cross over a la SBC Shaman.

it's in my attic at home, made out of T45 baby!

haha T45 drawn and tempered. Sweet.

I made a brake cable fit a cross top lever to work as a brake lever.

Am I fixpunk?

im sure steam power has to be involved somewhere?

Fixed stuff

Made a chain tug.

Changed dropouts.

BMX Stuff

Canti brake plate before they where even out (I'm a pioneer!)

Replaced a broken dropout

Pegs

Chain tugs

Lay back seat post.

replacement axle

hollow stem bolt.

Can't do the stuff I want to do now as I live in a one bed flat.

though i bow to thebrick's prowess.

@chugit, bring it out, dust it offand ride it.

I carved a Colnago track bike out of cheese.

Don't some of it was dodge as fuck but it kind of worked enough to work if you get what I mean.

Brake plate version 2 worked out the best, looked ugly but worked really well, still have it on the front of my old BMX.

Respect to chugit's BMX frame

I quite like your bars brucy are you going to add a cross brace?
