Added a threaded inserts into the seat and chainstay bridges for mounting mudguards.

The nice people at 56a crampton street let me use their tool to tap and face the bottom bracket.

Decided to use brass to braze in the dropouts. I wanted to fill the ends up to make them neat and water tight.

I also laced up a rim from a geared wheel set on to a fixed geared hub for this build.

I haven't done a very good job at keeping this up to date but I have finished the build and been riding it the past few weeks so I thought I would show the rest.

What are the dimensions of the bag?

Okay nice, thanks for the info. I thought it might lose some integrity.

I have done it on my first frame. I brazed the internal tube and cover all in one go. Would it have been better to braze the tube in and then the cover?

How do you know if your tubes are strong enough for internal cable routing or mounts. Is it just a try and see if it breaks?

2nd dibs if may falls through

Cheers man, exciting get the front triangle done. Starting to look like a bike

I think the final angles are a half degree steeper than intended but maybe for the best as it has a 72° seat tube now. Was a little worried it was a too slack and the seat would be too far back.

I did a half day yesterday and managed to do in the internal cable routing and then braze the top tube in place.

Dibs on arkose bars and 2nd dibs spyres if abr doesn't take them. Pm incoming

I have access to a tig welder and originally thought i would go down that route but after blowing loads of holes in some practice tubes I soon lost faith in my ability to do that. Respect for learning that.

I'm pretty happy with the progress so far. Did the head tube a few weeks ago and then the bb and seat tube last week.

I started mitering the top tube and hopefully braze that in this week.

I worked out the geometry a few months ago and bought all the tubes. I can't remember what I was thinking when I did but I am slightly doubting my decision. Might end up with some rogue geometry but to late to change the front end now.

Made myself some tube blocks

I've wanted to build a frame for a number of years and after seeing a few people on here doing it I decided to give it a go.

I really want to make a touring/adventure bike but advice seems that your first bike might be a bit shit so going with something a little simpler to start.

So this bike is going to be a fixed gear winter commuter. I'm interested in trying this low trail thing as well so have bought a fork with a fair bit of rake and braze ons for rack.

I'll take them if they are still available. Will pm

Dibs stem please

Hello,

Really nippy road frame built by the North London frame builder Alan Shorter.

56.5 square, which is unfortunately a little small for me hence selling.

Reynolds 653 frame and fork with cinelli bottom bracket.

Fun blue white fade paint job but it is far from perfect with slight rust in places. Decals are flaking too but new ones can be bought from Lloyd's. However no dints and threads are fine and recently chased. Nds wheel tension screw has snapped in the dropout but other side is fine.

Pick up from either Elephant and Castle (work) or Clapton (home).

Thanks for looking

Interested in the front and rear derailleur depending on the clamp size.

Are the tyres for sale? What size are they?

Ended up with a spare early bird ticket. Paid £26 so looking for similar. Can email over the ticket if anyone wants it.

I would be interested in the speed kings if 321 doesn't want them

A lot of people on here recommend decathlon for best value for money. Either spend a bit more on this and be toasty and also have something for colder months. Or get this one. Maybe you will have to wear a layer underneath as the temperature doesn't go as low. However the Eurohike is a little vague on how much down is in the bag but as it is a mix of down and synthetic and a similar pack size to this decathlon, which is all down. I think that means the decathlon will be as warm, possibly warmer.
