I'll be keeping the bottom bracket and headset bits so they are not included, just the frame and fork.

I think a disclaimer needs adding to this thread that it is not a generic frame building thread haha.

@Biggles567 is very courteous about it though

Oh.my bad, didn't realise that! Do we have a generic frame building thread I've forgotten about?

Probably best here: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/311246/?offset=1500#comment17589460

Unfortunately I'm not well versed in lugs!

:)

I finished the second hardtail a few days ago and we built it up today. It looks great. Will get pictures of both in the next few days.

Outstanding tool wall also

Thanks! Lidl magnetic strips :) 1 euro each!

It is refreshing seeing how pro an output you are able to achieve without fancy fancy tools. Big fan of that.

How did you get on with mitering on the lathe?

Thanks very much!

I havent yet got the lathe going, i need to buy a motor and ive been putting it off. However im gonna do it today and get on with it soon! I want to mitre the next frame using the lathe as much as possible and wont have the tubes for a week or two, so will have time to sort things out hopefully.

we got a great shakedown ride in today, 4 hours on a local loop. Full bike pics soon!

We clearcoated it because George is doing atlas mountain race on it in about a month. Will be interesting to see how the finish holds up.

I'll get some higher res shots in the next few days

Love all of this! Fab bikes and trails - good times.

Does that belong to one of the lads who opened up archive works?

Yeah :) although he's no longer there!

Yeah it's been great to have a bit of a group together to ride with for once!

We got another solid day in today on the bikes. We went north where it gets more alpine and did a 6ish hour loop into the hills. Was great, really amazing riding.
