Hulsroy's Hustle

I just bend em over the knee

You said on Instagram you're practicing TIG welding so you can make an MTB frame, is that because brazed joints aren't strong enough?

Bars are awesome.

No. I just don't have time for all the filing required :)

Fair! Looks good to my uneducated eyeballs!

Thanks. We shall see how it holds up.
Nervous about binning expensive bike tubes :)

There's a lightly used Ercolina MB42 om Guloggratis. Only 38500,-

Pocket change..

Haha. Whats this one called?

Gas Pipe Bars (TM)
Looks awesome!

It is an Ercolina.
But it is not doing a super great job on the T45 steel I am using.

I picked up the GT. Soo sad. I would not have gone through with this if I had bead blasted prior to starting the the fix. That's a lesson learned.

:(

Nothing left to do but build a complete copy of it..

on second thought id rather see the mtb your planning :)

Yeah I think this is now a mantle piece for my future dream workshop.
I am debating whether I am TIG welding or brazing the MTB.
I want to TIG it. Porosity in my brazing is making me sad. I believe it is because of the propane. Possibly combined with my flux getting trapped. All I know is my set up back in Denmark with acetylene didn't give this kind of porous fillets. I have definitely improved my brazing skills over the years so it must be the setup.
On the other hand there is definitely a risk that my first MTB won't be this if I TIG it. I haven't got enough experience to say I definitely won't fuxk it up :)

TIG it :) You've got to start somewhere, right?

Ok :)

Got the wheels for my wife's bike. Judith from Stayer Cycles did an amazing job.

That bike just looks right. Really awesome work!

Everyone is catching on...

Short People Geometry.

I don't agree with Karen's marketing statements tho. "Control" and "accomodating".

Smaller wheels allow for rowdy geometry!

I would love to see a Hartley/Hulsroy frame!

Here you got a Hulsroy Harley instead...

Front rotor is almost touching fork leg so I need a different rotor adapter.

Bars and saddle look a bit big in the photos.
I'll take some proper photos when it is build. It looks more harmonic in real life.
