Hulsroy's Hustle

I hope you noticed the custom chamfered TX screws

I love that you’re mads producing stuff now!

Qui. Trés sexy.

using his mads skillz!

Spend the day tinkering, cleaning, ordering and finishing the folding AWOL for myself. Pretty happy with how it came out.

Awesome! Always wanted an AWOL.

Excited that the cages are shipped!

Yes. Did them Saturday so should be with you shortly. If there are little chunks of apple in your parcel I am sorry

And here I was thinking Hulsroy Industries was child labor free…

It's not like he isn't payed.

Have also seen a shipping email pass through, excited.
Thanks for the quick turn around, greatly appreciated!

edit: A box was waiting for me when I arrived home, only had time to unpack and have a quick look but they feel solid and are really really nice.

Exciting. Hope you like the heat rainbows. If not send them back and I'll swap for cleaned ones

Project AWOL is almost complete but now I am having second thoughts about keeping it. It ended up a bit nice and I could really do with the money for a new milling machine and don't really need more bikes - I need more time for riding really.

Was thinking £1300 for frame forks and headset. And if you like mediocre powder coating I will even throw in a paint job (it might turn out alright). If I have a colour you like that is... If you want something else it's the price of the powder on top.
I can also do a complete build either with the groupset I was imagining for it TRP hylex + 10sp SRAM bar end shifter and XO rear mech or something brand new if you fancy that. Anyways get it touch via pm.

It's a AWOL Comp from 2016 size XL I got for free on here. What you are paying for is the labour, added materials and custom parts.

Forks are custom made from t45 tubing with stainless 3d printed dropouts.

They can have all the rack mounts you'd want. Was going for bosses for mudguards, mid leg bosses and two on top of the legs and do a custom rack for in stainless steel. Which I'll happily do for you for a bit of extra cash.

What's the benefit of the fold? Or would you breakaway if you actually wanted to pack it down?

Yeah so not actually FOLDING I guess. Breakaway is a better way to describe it

I understand some find £1300 a lot for a salvaged frame. But look at it like this.

I have spent at least 5 days on it. That's €260 a day and not counting rent, power, materials, licenced software and design work.

1300 for a repurposed, xxl rinko frame, made in Denmark, by hand, to a decent quality with in-house designed parts seems like a price that doesn’t need justification

Custom bikes are an artisan good, as with all artisan goods you’re rarely paying for the materials but instead for the craftsperson.

Use of Salvage is playing it down imo, ship of Theseus etc etc

Here here!
It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish that counts. When I was making furniture from repurposed materials it gave you a jumping off point, but only ‘you’ could see the vision until it was finished. It’s not upcycling or salvaging, you are not just putting lipstick on a pig. Don’t under sell yourself.

AND the frame spent 6 months in MY shed, easily adds £1000 on top IMO.

It told me it had the best of times in your OSB shed

president of the USA literally signs laws in on a desk salvaged from an old ship

i quite like that
