9kg oxygen + 13kg propane - £175 (deposits on bottles ~£100/gas the rest)
Various misc (files/hacksaw blades/grinding discs/drill bits/workmate) - £50
Boric Acid 1kg for flux - £15
Ceeway order (0.5kg Sif 101 rods/couple of practice tubes and a heap of braze-ons) - £60
All in for about £500 at the moment, before any actual tubes for a frame or bits for a jig. Already had grinder/cordless drill.
@Fforiwr ah no way! I remember, man I was struggling near the top of the Agnel. I was riding with my friend who just had a pair of red Ortleib front panniers. Any chance that's you or one of your friends at the top of the Agnel in the photo below? (My friend Ben on the left) I remember cloud rolling in from the Italian side as we made it to the top, after a scorching ascent. We stayed in a campsite/under an open barn in the town down the other side of the Agnel before staring on the Sampeyre and the Death Road the next morning. https://www.instagram.com/jakd1995/p/BnW1-PbBk8b/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=a5bx3p6079s1
@PhilDAS unfortunately I sold the YT for next to nothing before Xmas to a guy who was cobbling together a ski-bike. Wish I'd kept it now to have a go at making a new front triangle!
I know the feeling, I’ve sold countless things in the last couple of years that I know would be super handy now! Ah well
Following the thread with interest
It's always the way! Got rid of a 29er Inbred frame last year that would have been ripe for fiddling with too.
And likewise, good to know there are several of us in a similar place in the process.
@sykodrama cheers!
