Hard core customisation (+ one question)

well done. love the frame and the fork/s

ChopperOlli I think you are a bleedin genius you got some skills my man !

I've seen the mono fork setup on mountain bikes... how does it work on a road bike, is your wheel held on by just one bolt & does the wheel have lateral flex?

Very nice & personal bike btw!

yeh, Cannondale have a lefty suspesion fork.. never seen a rigid version tho! thats awesome!

Pretty unique with that fork man. Nice work.

I imagine you've just started the next custom frame frenzy with that mono fork setup.

It'll be the lo-pro of summer '09...

yep.. look into how you can start making them quick.. ull make a fortune!

Is the weight actually reduced? I assume a stronger metals in the fork, hubs and spokes will have to be used, no?

mike burrows made a mono-bladed fork a few years back too.
who's that old nutter who rides around england? he has one on his pink and yellow bike.
here's his track one

and one here too.

that is SO HOT!!! NICE one dude - good on you ;)

Looks great Olli! I like the snowflake wheels.

isn't that monkey dave's bike

Also brilliant !

What is that tune?? its great!
Love the muslauf blogspot. not an arospok in sight

we have a few burrows mono forks literally kicking around in the workshop at bike fix.
They have a tendancy to de-bond themsevles... other that that, perfect

I need to check in autumn when I get back to Finland if I could make small series of those
forks.

Fork and axle is made out of scratch, exept thread is adopted from old fork.
Hub I use whit it is from wheelchair. Its hard to tell how I made it whitout pics.
Its kind a machining, welding, grinding...

Put me on your list !!

Could you use a Lefty hub (Cannondale) for the fork ?

who's that old nutter who rides around england?

That's hippy isn't it?
;-)

haha,

you could always get a phil wheelchair hub and convert that, they are quite often on the bay.

What is that tune?? its great!

Rolls do wheelchir hubs.

@murtle Allen Hart Davis. Is that the guy your thinking about?

dat's him, thanks tommy.

Every time I look at that bike it becomes more beautiful

yeah i completely agree, and i take back my original statement...

.

Bear in mind he is in Slovenia, I sincerely doubt that any manufacturers of quality (or any) parts that we know and love have expanded their export operations that far.

Dude do you know where slovenia is?

Dude do you know where slovenia is?

Hahaha. Yep, street bike parts are easy to get here but. Fixed or pure track stuff
is hard to get here. Here used to be 2 velodromes but last one closed early 2000.
But, thanks internet everything is close!

Ah, whit this my "rigid lefty fork" I'm obviously too late :D After all those DIY forks, I just find this
Cannon piece from web, but I dont know is it just proto or will they produce it.
