Lowbudget ultraDIY 26" adventure bike.

I wish I could fabricate and weld...

You gonna add a gusset to that?

plan is to cut and drill something like this..

love what you did with the frame, here is the exact mount TIG welded on my 26" disc conversion

i will do exact the same thing on mine :), nice work!

I'm intrigued! Where did you buy that mount @FredyCro ?

@bankiren able to list some of your workshop equipment and maybe describe some process stuff? I can weld (like a well trained 10 year old) and looking to start fabricating more stuff so interested to see what people are up to and how ...

the mount is from ceeway (ca. 4 £), TIG welding was done by Banek cycles in Croatia. I am going to update my MTB disc conversion thread once I have the frame again!

@thrust this lot sell disc tabs and other frame bits. Slightly arcane ordering as not web based shopping.

this one looks like it has more contact area for welding

@young_gun did you find that on ceeway?

yes

that one is for the fork and actually makes sense only on a straight fork. you can see the exact mount (shortened a bit) on the fork in my thread.

Yo, i only use a mig/mag weldmachine, grinder, drilling machine, folding rule and two eyes :)

i have been in to ghetto fabrication and solutions since i was around 15, im 32 today.

Stuck a bit right now until I get the fork, ebay says 10th october ish..

Start a fabrication firm.

"Fista Fabrications"

Has a nice ring to it, don't you think! ^^

I'd buy a front rack, a rear rack and a fork - ghettofied.

Same here.

I have a 1" long threaded fork? But its made of hi-ten, about a kilo.

i just order one with discmount :)

I got mine already.

still waiting for that fork..

Those Nittose

Today i recived the first part to the project that i bought for money .

Tonight i removed the paint and canti mounts from the new fork.

I also mounted a 10 speed shimano TT shifter i got from a friend, now i just need a mid cage 105 or ultegra derailleur.

Plan is to run a 38t frontring and 32-something casette to start with.

Yesss. Finally this project is taking shape.

What are your plans for the paint?
