  • Nice!

    You find 1 1/8 od tubing without too much hassle?

    I was thinking one long beam from the bb right to the front with the headtube extension going through it would be the best way to do it. No idea how easy it'd be getting hold of the material to do that though.

    You're probably right. Would need a big bit of steel though to keep the strength when you cut a hole through it. That was my thinking anyway. Working with box section for the cargo part made the welding and lining up easier. Not sure of the merits strength wise.

    Think b&q had 1 1/8 tube straight out of the metal section. The star fangled nut is not perfect though. I bodged it in somehow...

  • Thanks for all the info.

    I'm thinking I'll do this class then maybe buy a stick welder that I can use at my parents (there's no power in my garage) so even if I don't get to do this at the class it's definitely getting done soon.

    Plan b for the class is either a trailer or a(nother) front rack.
