Hulsroy's Hustle

Thanks Sam!

I will make sure you get a set.

My friend who is doing the website programming has some experience in setting up webshops with WooCommerce and WordPress so looks like that's going to be my backend.

Oven just needs a door, cabeling and insulation to be completed. Powders arrived today and it's looking like I'll be baking stuff next week.

I am done with most things Bespoked in terms of plinths and stuff. Just need to work on some signage.

So is bespoke going to be a more exciting fair than the Berlin thing?
Was a great evening with all of you, but the fair wasn't that nice to be honest.

Amazing! So big.
So you have the Nordic pulver gun?
Best tip I got was to ensure the air supply is dry dry dry. Ideally with a dryer, but they're pricey so a few in line filters.
Also keep the bag of powder sealed as it's basically the dryest thing on the planet and any damp is attracted to it and makes it clumpy 👍

Fair will be much better. We are prepared and made an effort really.

But I amsure there will be less partying this time around.

Thanks. No bought that easycoat gun from the UK you reccomended. It's a starting point. Will upgrade eventually. I will do my best to keep things dry. thanks for the tip.

Oh no doubt you guys will have the best stuff on show and display looks promising.

Someone posted a ridiculous '89 MTB video in the MTB thread, and there is a great pebble display thing quite early on. It might be a bit cheesy, but I always liked the show bikes on adventurous surfaces thing. Reminds me of the test parcours things for hiking shoes outdoor Shops sometimes have.

I can get the crate of beer this time ;-)

Ah yeah, thats way better anyway. No real need to upgrade to be honest, that will do everything.
Look forward to seeing your stand 😎😎

Have you got a link?
EDIT: found it

It's interesting, isn't it. Made it three minutes.
Thing in video not really that good, but looks very adveure.
Think the Bikeshop I hung out in the nineties also had pebbles.

I have a 7km commute. Both kids are delivered at daycare and kindergarten within the first kilometer. That means I am doing 12km a day, at least, on the cargo bike without actually needing the cargo bike. I live on top of a hill (115mm elevation gain) and the home commute takes <20min on a road bike and +30min on the cargo bike.
I traded this Frankenstein Bob Ibex for a stem build and wanted to try it out for a period of time to see if it will help my knee pain a bit and help increase time spent in the workshop.
The seat from the cargo bike fits so I am hoping to be able to use it without too much work. Obviously I didn't think about it being for 26er frames... so I had to modify it.
Luckily the workshop manager was there to help.

Will be also there, and my bike is on display there at the Dlouhy exhibition stand, how great is that. I go with my son (9 years old) to Dresden, a whole weekend, city, restaurants, and visiting the fair. Hopefully I will meet some lfgss users!

Just seen the STW article: https://singletrackworld.com/2023/10/bespoked-bike-check-hulsroy-croc/

Nice work @Hulsroy, that's a really nice bike!

ahahaha 🐊🐊🐊

Sick! Thanks for sharing. I had not seen that yet.

Just dropping in for my monthly catch-up on all things Hulsroy. Super exciting times, big hugs and luck being sent your way for the next stages. Defo count me in for some cages and bottles - absolutely no need for them, but if I have new cages I’ll probably need a new biek.

I make bikes as well! ;)

These popsicle sticks turned out really nice. Fingers crossed you can see the laser engraved logos are visible after brazing and polishing

There are spies everywhere

I am working my ass off these days.
Website is almost done. Just need to write some texts and select images.

I got everything for the bottle cages and we will be producing those this week.

Everything for bespoked is more or less ready I think. I did last check up on @Maj 's frame tonight. Tomorrow I clean it up and paint it.

Looks glorious!
Are they maj's wheels or not? I fleetingly checked the forum on holiday and picked up on the unfortunate parts saga, and wondered where one could find a wheel set with modern hubs, obsolete/obscure rim size on such short notice.

Also, what in the hell is the practical use of the popsicles?
@Tijmen will get this one, wat is daar het praktisch nut van?

Edit: I got it, there the bases of the bottle cages. Very suave, much designer.

Also mini-hulsroy heart-eye-emoji

No parts of @Maj 's have showed up yet. Still hoping they appear one day.

The wheels are my wife's wheels. They are Bitex hubs and I suddenly remembered that they could probably be converted and sure enough they have the possibility of going thru axle. So Stayer Cycles UPS expressed me some axles and end caps.

Maj's frameset looks banging. The popsicles also look good for caulking :)
