Hulsroy's Hustle

Old tube looks like a gateway to hell. Glad you decided to change it, who knows what could have happened.

Great work man

This thread fills me with envy. So much quality workmanship and tools. Very good.

Well done...whats the plan on that gt ?

Yeah. There was a big lump of causic soda and loads of water trapped in there. I probably should just have binned the frame. But love...

Thanks guys.

This is the plan. Although it might feature some Middleburn cranks instead :)

Tasty...looking forward

Fillets looks to turn out worthy of the rest of the frame.

I am still getting a bit of porosity and pin holes, but it shaped up nicely.

porosity and pin holes

Contamination? Gas flow?

Well, I don't know.

I have read somewhere that it might be too much flux

soooo good! i also built a triple triangle frame just recently! i am super happy but welds are nowhere neeear your level!! soo good
correction: fillet brazing!! not welding

Thanks mate.

I fucking love this bike. It is by far the one I ride the most. It is a perfect mix between fast and comfy and the dynamo light make it weapon of choice almost every day.
Sometime in the near future it deserves a Swift rando bag the has a bit more space than this Ostrich one.
The Ortlieb decaleur system I hacked also works effortlessly. Everything about this bike is just super easy.

I reckon you now see why I love my low trail rando bike.

Yeah Yeah

@Hulsroy was wondering if the GT stamped 'virtual top tube end' was getting stuck back on. Much satisfaction.

Yeah. That is the only reason I embarked on this stupid project.

That and the fact that Dave Tiemeyer built it.
I am a big fan of his work and was excited to see how he'd done it.

I think I nailed the size and the shapes of the fillets. And although frame has some history etc I have decided to not go all period correct.
I am going to give it a detachable seat post collar and ahead headset.

Cheers for the link, will certainly take a read. Just the url makes me miss my Pulse track bike :'|

Its possible this has already been discussed but is that shifter boss on the seat tube for a roller dynamo?

Seems odd on a frame like that.

Repairs turned out well. Great work.

Barrel adjuster for front derailleur. There is a pulley wheel very far down on the seat tube as well. This is a early nineties pro cyclocross frame.

Interesting. Are you replacing it? Or maybe going 1x only?

Yeah those bits are going back on. The steam punk look makes me excited
