Nope - I don't think I've ever seen it. It just came to mind as it has been mentioned quite a lot on this forum.
It would probably suffice to have the strap/tie go through the tombstone on your design.

You are refering to the couple of seconds it takes to release a quick link? and throwing it in a slow cooker?
If only I could get back the amount of time I've tried to degrease and clean oily chains..

It looks very nice! Makes me want to have a go at melting metal myself!

May I suggest an integrated loop for attaching a security strap/cable tie?

because I hate cleaning bike and maintenance in general.

Sounds to me like you need to start waxing your chains.

Got at link to some nice ones?
Wearing glasses and having one eye with worse sight than the other makes adjusting an using binos a really awfull experience.

edit: The only ones I kind find are either 10 gbp or >100 gbp - don't mind spending a bit more than 10.

What a legend. Love the photo with the beer bottle in the vice!

We had a builder pour a levelling concrete layer because we broke down a wall between kitchen an living room, and generally the concrete was uneven - it's pretty flat, but there are a few places where you can still feel unevenness due to the tiles moving when you walk on them.

The tiles are "floating" and are put together on top of a plastic sheet to prevent moisture coming through, so in that regard, I think you'd be good.

We've got about a year's worth of wear and tear on our Marmoleum with two kids under 4 years in our living room+kitchen. There's marks where furniture is moved across the joints on a daily basis around the sofa, but I really can't tell if there's anything else. Mind, we've got the bright yellow, so it might show more on the darker colours.

Phwoah! This bike makes me want an alu rim brake road bike.. which is saying something!

Has anyone suggested Lineoleum tiles? We have them in our kitchen and living room and the builders made a very tidy job of cutting them out to fit the pipes for the radiators.

Has been around for at least two years. Tore is not tall and likes the feel of shorter cranks.

Matt Appleman (Bike Builder and bike fitter) pioneered the trend as far as I am aware.
Not scientific, but data nonetheless

Tore is not tall and likes the feel of shorter cranks.
And they have access to a load of older square taper cranks and a milling machine, why not make some?

What kind of shifter do you expect to use?
I'm not aware of any stock builds with IGH and drop bars.
Could convert at Bombtrack Arise singlespeed to hub gears or Pelago Hanko Commuter to drop bars.

I just went on an overnigther with Tore of Starfish Bicycles
The stem on his daily uses braze ons for saddle clamps which recesses the bolt head. It is a very neat solution imo.
On this as well:

You're welcome! That's what's this forum is for :)

I see - then I'd probably try something like a multicutter with a coarse triangular sanding pad.
Something like this:

it would make it easier to get it straight than a dremel.

That looks great!

And I recognize the feeling you're describing. Two bikes in working order, and both with 800 mm Kyote and 850 mm stridsland bars and having just done 100k in a day on the stridsland bar I can't come up with a reason for drops - for my riding at least.

I'm suprised - a sharp file should make short work of the aluminium I thought..
Are you trying to increase the hole size or make them a different shape?

A solution?

Omnium CXC
Pelago Stavanger

In the future i'll look for a different threaded boss to use.

Or find a little lathe/local machinist and make your own?

I'm not surprised a handheld laser wire cutter exists - it sounds really useful in a production environment. I think most laser welding is done by robots for mass production/high precision stuff on very thin metal.

There's handheld laser rust/paint removal tools as well - youtube certainly makes it look impressive.

You have also described the way a laser welding machine works. They are really awesome.

I am firmly in the "no home espresso" camp. Cost and investment are just to steep, both fiscally and with regards to time.
Aeropress, V60 and french press for me. Though I'm keen on clever dripper because I can get the filters in the local shops and brew for two people at a time.

That is not to say that the engineer in me does not enjoy all writing about techniques and modding.. I'm just in no place to conduct it myself.

Yeah, I've tried in vain to use a cheap soldering iron and electronic solder to finish a cable - didn't take with a storm lighter either.

Congratulations!
Fingers crossed you'll find a suitable place for them in Cph
