Great work dude!
You’ve managed to make a great looking bike despite all the difficulties you’ve had to work around. So good that there are people doing this sort of thing.
Chapeau to you.

Unfortunately it is still really expensive, especially as we end up having to use lugged carbon.
I'm looking at the feasability of designing a frame and having it made in the far east to try and make an affordable bike that fits properly for people with achondroplasia, as there just isn't anything available. Both the people I have built these for had to use childrens bikes before, and they just don't fit.

Finally finished this. It is a bike for someone with achondroplasia, which is a form of dwarfism.
Everything is a pain in the arse with these, normal tubes are too short in the butt, hence the carbon. Getting calipers to clear at the back requires lots of bending. The cranks had the wrong chainline for ultegra so needed machining, and so on and so on. Anyway, its all done now, except fot the custom mudguards. Which I snapped. YAY BIKES!
