thanks for your both comments guys. really pleasing to see that you folks are grappling with this AND at least do worship my work and not only running things down.

veLLo´s words are summing this up quite good.

i saw lots of discussions upon here about how to fit a brake on a track fork and yeah there already went lots of brains and good ideas into this .
so at least i wanted to execute my own thoughts, and as the clamp in system may not be the bestlooking but kind of easiest way to have a crack , i just had a try on a boring sunday.

as i had my hands on metalwork and have been tinkering and working with those materials since my early childhood (thanks dad !) , constructing things, dissambeling / reassembling mopeds etc etc. i slightly know how materials behave and perform under stress.
AND as i am a quite cautious person i wouldnt be such a fool to believe that my construction would be the ultimate solution and a 100% safe.

to me, the original dia compe system is, apart from its improved stiffness and safety, still a clumsy way to get some braking power.
so i´m not sure how long this thing will actually be on my bike.

i was also thinking of some solution as mentioned in another thread by using kind of a ahead adapter stem with a attached brake fixture which is inserted into the fork from below, but due to lack of space between fork crown and tire .. you can guess the end of story ...

enjoy your evening guys

oh well, if it was that easy .

yeeeeeeeah youre totally right man. look sucks. but i dont want to loose this geometry / clereance with a shitty road fork and well drilled track forks are hard to come by ..

yes, this strap thing aint no bad idea .. might consider this ..

appreciate your constructive comments guys (lae!)

but whats going on with this hey presto thing?

guys guys, dont worry.
technically its a one to one copy from the dia compe clamp on.
and i think you dont going to say that all people using this are fearless idiots with a good dentist?

and of course im not going to pace down the next steep hill to see if it REALLY works.. im going to try this step by step on slow speeds ( in ma backyard to get you satisfied ) and if in aint gonna work -> trashbin ..

alright?!

just real steel - no aluminium used

hey folks,

took me at least 3andahalf hours and a bit of a headache but i finally finished my clamp on front brake for undrilled forks.

see pics for details

no waiting for proper weather to give it a go and see if it works like i want it to

but its a pretty stiff and solid construction so i think it could work fine

feel free to give suggestions / critique and stuff

cheers

fo´in ace bike if you´d get rid on the spinergy ..

oh boy such a stunner. lovely paintjob.bargain. what more could one want?!
guess lots of people around here having itchy fingers now

hope these ebay fags will buy it themselves for £100000

fckin ace bike !

thats one huge kodak box ..

ouch..

Right. It's Eames therefore it must be good great.

hehe ..

the knoll ones have a marcel breuer stamp on the leather and engraving in metal.
gavina was also a knoll licensed producer of these chairs.
cannot remember if they are marked, too.
i bet this is a copy - got one myself and it looks pretty much like yours.
the italians used to produce pretty good copies and they still do i think..
give it a polish and wipe away the dust then it might gain more interest within a sec.
good luck selling!

yeah ure right. kind of dodgy.

nothing more to say..

yeah, they do have a second domain

http://distance-cycles.eu/

but it also lacks further infos so far.

i´m not going to order anyway just thought maybe it was a good source.

the guys´ answer was quite professional and inspiring confidence, so..

http://distancecycles.bigcartel.com/

anyone heard of this shop before?

contacted them guys, they said there located in france but contact email was .jp - ending

surprisingly cheap on lots of beloved items so i was wondering if this is true or fake..

njam njam delicious color !

if Thered cops out (fingers crossed) i´d take the nitto aswell

dont know if its too risky but maybe you could try glueing just the crack before having it drilled / glueing the whole post into the frame.
i recently glued some aluminium parts theres few industrial 2-c-epoxy products on the market for quite little money.
i bought "uhu endfest 300"
UHU plus endfest 300 2 x 15 ml: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home
which takes up to 300kgs/ sqcm when heat-dried.
maybe it would be worth a try ?

fuckin hell that was a bargain ! nice paintjob !!

uiuiui these are some nice rims .. just wanted to say .. free bump incl.

cant tell if this is the original fork frame was built up with

to give you an impression:

they call my throat wide open throttle and hell no, i´m not gay
