PhilDAS learns to glue (mostly) metal

Tapered disc

Hmmm. Tell me more. PM or FM, and what's the A-C measurement?

Ceeway are OOS on the fat Spirit downtube that I wanted for the road bike so currently I'm looking at zona track frame, Spirit HSS road disc frame but with a 42mm Zona downtube rather than the spirit one. Both with Max chainstays

I had to do a double take when I saw the cost of some of the Spirit tubing so it's probably just as well that the downtube isn't available.

Can build a whole Zona front triangle for the cost of the Spirit top tube. It is Bi-oval though so that's probably why

Awesome, sounds cool. Yeah the spirit stuff aint cheap.

I used that 42mm dt on the track frame i just built, was a major pain to miter. But otherwise worked out fine.

Properly brazed up all of the tacked front triangle on this and I’ve brazed the flat mount to the chainstay though didn’t picture that. Not really much left before it’s a whole frame

And I’ve repurposed some bits from my old jig to make access to the rear triangle a bit easier.

Looking good, how’s the rear brake alignment?

Haven’t got a flat mount brake to check 😬

I’m sure it’ll be fine, how hard can it be anyway?

Fucking hard.

Most new bikes that are flat mount need a fair bit of facing from my experience..

Wahoooooo. Looking good.

Are you still interested in testing this out or shall I find some other fool to Guinea pig it?

By the way, is the internal routing through and through or will you be playing the fishing game?

too long and low for him

It goes all the way through. Adds quite a bit of weight but it looks nice

I feel a bit bad for saying this, but... not sure I can face (re)building another bike atm and I worry @amey continuing his online hate campaign he appears to have started against me if I put the wrong parts on it.

Hahaha no sweat. I'll give it a thrashin myself and see how it goes.
