6031 Matt

I wasn't particularly taken by any of them and was finding myself heading into farrow & ball territory (RAL 7032 etc) nice colours but I'm not really feeling them. Finally my military/utility coloursearch led me to RAL7021 Schwarzgrau which is feeling about right, especially with the lairy anodising (red hubs, green calipers and probably gold caliper bolts )

Not 100% sure about colour.
Since it's a utility bike I think it should be a utility colour, straight basic powdercoat, 1 colour.

My first thought was Traffic Grey B - RAL7043
Back in the day I used to design Arena Seating and that was the default metalwork colour. Kind of makes sense for a road bike but possibly a bit boring...
I then went down a grubby rabbit hole looking at various military colours RAL6031 7013 & 8027...

Finding pics of bike frames in these colours was more edifying than looking at photos of military hardware...

Just finished off the model and done the geometry check, everything looks right and ready to roll.

meddled about a bit with the position of bridges for mudguard mounting.
For neat mounting of mudguards with 28mm winter tyres, the bridges clash with summery gravel tyres. In the end I prioritised clearance for 47mm off-road tyres and will create custom fixtures to go from bridge to mudguard as and when I need them...

In the end I've decided to go BSA on the BB
Cable run will be internal through DT then out and under BB and external along the stays.

I've started amassing some kit in a box under my desk too. I've got JuinTech calipers, hope Pro2 hubs (QR front, Evo 12 x 142 rear), Cliq Weaponz cranks with Ultegra BB & Rival shifters/mech/cass.
Gearing will be 1 x 10 (36 x 11-34) I've got some 32h WTB frequency rims so my next job while I faff around with frame design will be to build the wheels.

So clean and tidy - full of carefully considered decent quality details.
Excellent work

Loving the use of generative design with cnc - this is great fun.
Excellent work - I look forward to hearing how you get on using it in anger.

Sometimes the ‘toothpick’ bits arise due to loading case anomalies so a bit of intuition is essential or you’ll be in trouble the first time you hit a tree root or load case that wasn’t part of the optimisation!

A bit of parts-bin wheelbuilding today. I thought a coaster would make my sscx a bit more fun on the big descents vs. fixed.
36h ambrosio balance on a shimano coaster. I’m getting sensible in my old age

This was a load of fun, thanks for the link it brightened my morning
Not R6M related but if you enjoy the original Treasure Isle Soul Stereo Sound, this is also an enjoyable mix https://soundcloud.com/hecklersphoenix/tribute-to-duke-reid-soul-stereo

Really enjoying this thread - your ride photos are lovely and make me want to get out on some bridlepaths and trails.
Bikes all looking great - keep up the good work

Wattage Weasel for me

Super elegant

Dibs noted - I'll build it so I can experience the geo. and see how I get on - if it's too much I'll certainly drop you a line - it'll be very much at home in your collection I think!

Indeed, I have a mismatched pair (moskva/omega v) and can't really see any difference other than the stickers

so pretty - what's rim? It looks a bit like a Moskva 80 perhaps

Really nice. Love it

Much as I love a turbomatic, that new saddle matches the look stem really nicely

Edit: just spotted the matching bidons too.... very nice

£20 posted or swap for 120mm of similar quality.

Sold

I assume it’s for riding with tri-bars... or an extreme t-Rex...

It’s a work of art though -a silver soldering masterclass

I know. With an inline post and a few headset spacers I reckon you could get the saddle and bars to meet

The angles on this are blowing my mind

I just fitted a fork to a recent eBay impulse purchase....
