Ooh some kind of rack/box/basket?

Either a trailer or a sick ramp for getting like three feet of air

If you match the 28mm tire with a 45mm fender I think it would look alright, but fenders may not be part of the plan. 130 euros is creeping up into the range of where the bike should be how you want it, not what's available to make it rideable. I'm interested to see how it'll turn out - pics please!

It certainly is food for thought, I am kind of intimitad to post pics between all this pron here, but there you go, bad light and phone quality, just a mock up of course! 28mm with fenders might work, but don't know where I can get these tires in Europe (3 of them I googled out are Serfas Urbana, Terry Telus and Haris Cyclery - all in US). Also the frame is stiff and rigid as hell, so a comfort of baloony tires is what I wanted to go for.

They are all great.

This one I just can't get enough of:

^^ Tough looking frame there.
Yeah, go cheap on the tires; if it doesn't work out, no great loss.

Exactly, it should be a daily bike, theft and winter proof, I kind of had to have this frame, excessive gas pipe tubes tend to giva a little bit extra weight though :)

I'm trying to save up for GT(M)ielec project and the upcoming trip to New Zealend, so this has to be done on absolute budget. Found some really cheapo tires on UK Bay, hoping the seller is willing to send to Austria.

nope
don't just stand around, keep the guesses coming.

is it a little gate for your Polly Pocket On A Farm set?

Wheel truing stand? Vertical bike rack? Not really sure what the scale of it is...

rep to andy

Nice work, drøn.

Thanks BN

Amazing!

It was the slots that gave it away :p

Have been thinking about doing something similar but doubt it will be to that level of radness!

Cool. Is there any adjustment on it, to accommodate different hub widths?

Looks like it - check the first shot of the base plate + QR skewer in the last photo

That looks awesome! I want one ha

You're on the ball this morning Andy. Well spotted :-)

amazing indeed.

any adjustment for smaller OLDs?

Also, are you gonna go all opensource on the design?

Do keep up, Apollo ;-)

:d

thanks for the comments.
it acommodates OLDs from 95 to 175.
there's space enough for a 29er wheel with tyre, and propably also a fat wheel with tyre.
the reference stick is adjustable along the entire radius and can reference both trueness and roundness.
the fork slots are a joke, way too flexy, and will be replaced with some metal bits.
the design is loosely based on musson and park tool/unior stands.
I think I will opensource but not until the current design flaws have been addressed.

Finally got a half decent picture of the cougar. (Cheers for the camera Indra!)

Still got a couple of little bits that I need/need to do.

Solid.

This is really good.
I'd race the shit out of it.

though Gatorskin was a terrible choice, literally the worst tyre out there. Grand prix 4000.
What width are the rims, I hope they're wide.
Cables need shortening and tidying a bit at the headtube.

Got my Chinese FR320 disc road frame built up. If anyone is interested in the full spec then give me a shout

PS yes it's needs a chain
