  • I have been frame building as a job now for just under a year. I have managed to amass enough money to retire to the Bahamas in that time, and no longer need my frame building equipment. I can deliver in my Bugatti if required.

    First up is my Brew frame jig, a la http://www.brewracingframes.com/id71.htm

    I have had this for about a year and a half, and have used it quite a bit in that time. It has been pretty solid and dependable, the only issue being that mounting it to a stand meant it wobbled around all over the place, and generally wouldn't stand still at all. I rectified this by mounting it to a modified engine hoist frame, as can be seen in my pictures. This has resolved the issue, and it is now as solid as a rock. It is a very versatile jig, and will build almost any bike, the only problem being that set up time is longer than with say an Anvil or Sputnik jig, but it is a quarter of the price, so fairs fair. It costs $1600 new, which is about £1000, without the stand. I would like £900 with the stand. Why so little discount you say? WHYYYYY?

    I'll tell you why, because that grand doesn't take in to consideration import duty or VAT (22%) or shipping ($450), or the stand. So, all in, I think it is a fair price. If you disagree, feel free not to buy it.

    Second up is a tube notcher, about 6 months old, fair use. Can be mounted to drill press, or used in vise. I've used it both ways, works fine in either. Will through in some hole saws as well in useful sizes, in various conditions. It is this one:

    I would like £170 for it if possible.

    Any questions, PM me or come down to the workshop, I'm easy.
