You could use a third party to ship it.
I've used these guys before and it was very straight forward.

Thanks, that makes sense of the photo as it was stainless.
I want to have a go at a lugged frame, if I go with an Oxy-propane set-up should I just try some test pieces with bronze and some with silver and make my choice based on which I prefer? Or are there parts of the frame where one would be a better choice than the other?

I had thought that it was best to use bronze when brazing lugs and silver on little things like cable guides etc.
I now think I’m wrong as I saw a photo of someone using silver to braze a fork to crown.
If that’s the case what are the rules of which to use, on what bit of the frame etc?

I don't really have a proper recipe for the Falafel topped tagine one, I just thow things together usually.
But as a rough guide I make the base mix the same as the recipe I posted but spice wise I use Allspice, Cinnamon (little) and smoked paprika.
I chuck in some sultanas and some chopped up dried apricots.
For the topping I use a couple of packet falafel mixes from the healthfood shop. I follow the instructions but make the mix a bit wetter so I can spread it over the top.
Then in the oven for 35/45 mins.
Give it a go, it's real good.

This twist on shepherds pie is a favourite in our house.

I’ve also done the same thing but using a tagine inspired bottom layer and a falafel top. Really good.

I just had a look at you instagram. I love that lugged wishbone seat stay on the Flanders Flyer.

Yeah I saw the Soma ones. They might work if I can move the canti bosses.

Thanks dude, that’s a great help.
So for all but fillet brazing this should be fine?
Could fillet brazing be done with this set-up at a push? I know you’re saying it’s not ideal but I’m just thinking about tinkering.

Thanks for the information guys.
I think propane may be fine for my hobby stuff and the lower entry cost makes sense.

Thanks but they’re not quite what I’m looking for.

The head tube angle is 73 degrees.
Running 650b x 42mm tyres.
I’m aiming for 37mm trail.
So I think I want a fork with 63mm offset.

Are there any off the peg 650b low-trail forks?
Canti breaks ideally but I’d consider disc.

What’s the pros and cons for Oxy-acetylene or Oxy-propane?

@cryptthing and a photo with the klunker bar please.

Nice, that takes me back.

Thanks dude. We just watched it.
He particularly likes the lazer scratch that starts at 5:45.
I've never shown him those before so that's tommorow's music lesson :)

Hey guys.
I'm after some advice on bike racks.
I'm looking for a tow bar mounted rack that holds 4 bikes (2 adult and 2 kids at the moment). What's good? Or what should I avoid?
Basically what's the best way to carry four bikes on the back of a van?
Is there an option that will still let me get into the back door with the rack on?
Thanks

I'm really into that!

I'm pretty keen. I'll PM you.

Great thread dredge!
I play a lot of board games with my son. He loves Carcassonne at the moment.
I just got Samurai Spirit but it's a bit complicated for him.
His birthday is coming up and I've got him King of Tokyo (can't wait to play that).
