I'm currently doing fabrication work for a small British bicycle company and about to start on an after hours personal project. With this thread I'll document the process as well as welcoming information/opinions from the LFGSS hive mind. Any and all input appreciated :)
The idea behind the bike is to build something a little different from what I've built/ridden in the past to gain more informed opinion on different aspects of frame design, tubing and components.
As far as component choices go I'm shooting for budget conscious quality. Some parts I'm totally undecided upon but I've collected a few bits already, will be using old wheels, have some personal preferences which I'll stick with.
As per the title the frame is going to be made from modern steels: a blend of various tubes from Columbus and Deda, oversized as much as possible and built around a pf30 BB and tapered steerer carbon fork.
