M_V's multitude of bikes and adventures in the land of framebuilding

I've only just realised it's you I've been following on Instagram!😂

That's fucking amazing. Please never paint it!

Cheers, not intending too paint it. Would detract from the scrap pile nature of it too much.

That's way sick. Good job on making something unique.

Totally awesome.

Barspins in sandals, you’re the winner of life sir

I've decided to sell the first bmx minivelo as a frameset, https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/349039/

Some stems I made for folks on 'ere recently.

These were £55 posted.

And this one was a bit more work so I charged a bit extra.

Still havent got my stem :/

Couldn’t you have pm’d? We all know that postage is slow at the moment.

Shit, I’ll check the tracking shortly.

Somehow missed this awesome thread.

Out of curiosity what are these bars?

They are a stainless version of a Triumph Bonneville bar.

I need one of these for my T1000 build, when are you doing an other batch?

The handle bar? I didn’t make it, I wish I had the ability to bend tubing off that size!

Edit: They were from somewhere like this... https://www.classicbikeshop.co.uk/controls-bars-levers/handle-bars/stainless-steel.html

Do all those old style motorbike handlebars tend to be 22.2mm clamp?

Mostly yeah.

28.6mm is also a thing but that tends to be newer stuff and there’s 1”/25.4mm bars on the likes of Harleys but most British bikes and a lot of Japanese ones are 22.2mm/7/8”.

handy

No sorry, I meant the stems :)

Ah sorry, that I can do!

I was thinking a t1000 was an iteration of triumph like the t120 etc.

I can do 1” or 1 1/8”and 25.4 or 31.8 bars. What kinda stack height and length you looking for?

I was doing raw fillets (not smoothed) and non removable faceplate for £55 posted or a bit more for smoothed fillets and/or removable faceplate so let me know what you fancy.

Cheers.

Beefy!

So, acid etching for headbadges? I've been meaning to try it with stainless. I gather from Bookface that you've done it before - what acid did you use? I've tried using ferric chloride, which didn't work at all.
