Zaschke Lo Pro - Oak Cycles frame repair.

^Clearcoated in that state or completely sand blasted with no old paint? Either way it would've been good...thinking of it now, I should have left it raw finish.
The fork survived because I hit a soft construction fence thingy....so it absorbed the impact but not the frame. The front wheel also took alot of the damage. I was out for like a minute :(

Cool story etc.

I think it would have looked great clearcoated with the remains of the original paint left, saying that though the new paint looks great too.

Cheers TM, clearcoating the remains would be really cool.

Lovely thread, lovely pictures!!

Ryan has done a lovely job, those bilaminate lugs look perfect coupled with the tiny headtube.

I never fully understood the function of bilaminating... Any reason this was the prefered option here? (apart from the fact it looks good?)

Yes.
Half and half would be DOPE!

Alle,

I remember seeing the low-pro in various states when I was popping in to see Ryan, looks great finished.

I dont know what bilaminating means either....I guess its a style of lugs?

Are you working on a project yourself Dammit? ;)

I saw this browsing Oak's FB page.

Kudos for getting it repaired.

I've got a clean post you can have: PM me.

NIce. Will do :)

Cheers man those tyres look awesome!!

Aww bollocks, didn't realise that they were in the same league as the vittoria Corsa CX which are also gumwalls, also look rad and also no longer made.... :(

Looks like Veloflex Record/Master are the only alternative

You answered your own question - they simply look awesome.

I was waiting for you to comment on this actually!

Noted!

I remember Ryan was excited about that frame as he took a bit of pride repairing it, he was saying he wanted to give this bilaminating lark a try on the crash damaged frame, and turn out to be great.

Great choice, considering how much more expensive bilaminating tend to be.

Was the crash before a circle jerks ride? I remember Theo "de pretzeling" it by standing on it... Good memories

^Yea it was....I think many had a go stamping on the bent wheel. Manage t get it straight enough so it wasn't rubbing the forks. Glad to finish the ride after :) Happy times!

Amazing! Well it's nice to be a part of the Zaschke gang with you... Now to crash mine

Good job D.

Original was totally fu*king gangster...was so close to buying it originally. Resurrected phoenix is near good.

Worth getting the Zaschke logos re-cut? Think that's what it needs...

Bumping this thread, seen (and rode) this bike tonight and it's just so amazing!
But it's true that I'm getting exctited from all lopros...

Beauty!

Got one for sale if you're interested

Thanks Patrick. Im glad to have changed it back to the original setup.

Does anyone know how to go about to get the decals done?

It really is great to see this bike again. Well done for restoring it, and pimping it, looks great. I rode this in the British University sports Association Championships 10 mile time trial in 1995, I think I came 24th. Michael Hutchinson won. I remember being sick over the crossbar halfway round. I also broke a course record at Wisbech wheelers on it. I only rode it twice. I was sponsored by Mark Zaschke at the time. Adam Giles
