Hi yo
The setting :
So I crashed my glittery eimei a few months ago, creasing my top and down tube. It still handles fine, but obviously isn’t the most structurally sound thing in the world.
Normally around this time of year I decide to build something with no idea of how to do what I want to do when I start. So I’ve decided this year I’m going to fix the eimei. With carbon tubes.
The plan:
I’m going to cut the top and down tube off. I’m then going to cut and mitre me some Chinese crabon and tack it in place. I’m then going to join the bits up with some carbon tow and epoxy a la bamboo bike style.
The end result:
A pinnacle of engineering which people will talk about for years to come as the ultimate in composite frame modification.
