Hulsroy's Hustle

Aah it’s awesome!!

Thanks buddy. And thank you for the frame. I really appreciate it and can't wait to ride it.

Looks brilliant, the tidied track ends is very pleasing.

Bits going on

Those brakes are quite good looking.

Also I am sorely tempted to purchase a new spider for my Tune cranks...

Wow, bargain 😅

Yes but will they actually brake?

What's the story behind that spider-implosion?!

It’s very cool, I like the X of brass aroundvthe crown.

Holy shit do it. Loooove those cranks. are they noodles?

@Jon. gave them to me a couple of years ago. They had cracked. Since then I have chopped some bits off the spider.

Ta!

They probably are :)

Ahh. Looked disastrous but any crank loses to a metallsaw and a man with a plan.

And yes.

This looks fantastic! It must be so satisfying to take a 'scrap' frame, resurrect it and then get to ride the fruits of your labour.

Looks great! What's the process behind darkening the exposed areas? Just jade oil?

Thanks. It is soo much fun.

Thanks.
I have used a mix of Hematite and Sculpt Noveau Slate black patination liquid.
Jade Oil is just a oil film so protect against rust.

If you go about this yourself be careful. Chemicals are nasty and caution should be taken.

looks bloody awesome!

Thank you
I need a more retro looking cock pit. I might get a steel stem to match the seatpost and some different levers from @fizzy.bleach

I am packing down my dad's bike today as I am flying home next weekend.
I didn't get time to do the trolley rack thing. So he will get my tubus rack and panniers instead. If the bike works out for him I might do him the trolley and make it fit this rack.

I need a different axle as there is not enough space for a Shimano qr due to the rack. I also need a wider saddle like a 155mm WTB Volt. But I haven't found one yet.
I can't wait to give it to him.

Hope your dad gets many, many miles on it. Wonderful work.

This is awesome man!

have you got panniers already?
