  • Svend, you seem to have a lot of patience and engineering skills.
    May I suggest you get a steel frame of proper quality tube. Maybe a track frame with a cracked headtube or and older touring bike with horisontal dropouts.
    Then you replace the headtube (with a cheap Ceeway Cromoly one) using the string method (Patent Pending).
    You can buy a disc tab for 10gbp on ebay and build a cheap fixture yourself.
    Then all you need is to find a person with tig welding skills and half an hour to put it together..

  • This may be a dim question, so I apologise. Is the "string method" simply holding the tube to be welded in place instead of using a jig? If so neat idea, although its still a bit of a job to remove the head tube and mitre (if that is the correct word) the cut joints to fit the new tube.

  • Ha! Thanks for the compliment, but i guess such traits also come with stubbornness. I think i'll see where this goes first.

    Welding would be great to learn... later...
