• Anyone want to suggest some frame mods for this? Literally anything considered as long as it's cheap and doable by a complete novice (no replacing headtube etc. for now)

    (Ignore my awful cabling, I'm just making do until I weld these bits on)

    At the moment I am thinking:

    1. ditching the band-on shifter boss and welding a downtube boss on to the top tube
    2. disc brake tabs (plus a strut for reinforcement) on the rear
    3. cable tie guides down both seat stays for full length outers.

    Just want to learn a bit of welding and this frame is my test bed. Any other suggestions? Some parts for a dynamo might be fun but not sure what's needed for that?

  • If it needs to be straight/precise it'll be too difficult for me! Disc tabs are okay because you just jam the lever on and it self-aligns. Brake bridge seems like an important area to do properly though... I'll think about though

    Apologies all for the thread hijack as well, I just wanted a few more eyes on the problem
