I’ve been watching @🅑🅐🅣🅣’s and @rawmeat’s Twenty projects and, despite having a scratch built version of my bmx minivelo about 75% complete, have decided that I’d like to built something like one of them.
As it’s not really something I need, I decided to try to build the frame from my scrap pile as much as possible.
This has been done totally without plans or drawings of anything so we will see how it comes out!
The I’ve used a bit of unsullied good new tubing for the main tube as I didn’t think a butted tube would be up to the task. The seattube was a downtube that I cocked up and brazed a headtube to squint, it had 3 bottle cage holes drilled in it so an off cut of slightly larger tubing has covered up two of those. Bb and chainstays were from a frame that I’d picked up somewhere along the way and never used. It was a tiny size, with a really short 1” headtube and already a cut n shut so at least this was some of it will see some use. I’ll be adding bracing at both ends of the main tube.
Plan is to use a bmx handlebar to get the height I need. Or build it a handlebar. Hmmm...
