  • How was the carbon bonded to the steel? Have long been interested in a DIY Bastion sort of bike with stainless steel lugs and carbon tubing. Have zero experience with any form of frame building but keen to know if it is a useless project or if it has some legs?

  • West Systems 105/205 epoxy with 404 high density filler where it was gappy. It's okay to work with, and the filler powder lets you get the consistency you need/want so it doesn't run everywhere. I've sat on it, and it seems pretty stable - have yet to go for a test ride. Coldharbour is the expert on this. If I had a lathe and mill I'd be building a stainless/carbon homage to ALAN. Not sure if any OTS lug sets would be suitable... might have to have a look, seeing as I now have a spare 753 back-end and no project on the go
