Custom framework

Greasemonkey

I'm starting a new bike from stratch, quite a commitment i know.

Anyone got any advise or experience with carefully filling down the frame welds and filling them with chemical metal for the super smooth monocoque look before spraying up the frame.

Does it eventually crack with use and ruin a new paint job?

I've only ever seen this done by over welding on motor bikes, i don't weld/braze myself and nor can i afford some one to over braze the frame for me.

Or has some one tryed already and it looks shit?

Any thoughts on that or other things you can do with a blank canvas?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
