Dubrat the Aussie on-going projects

Hey Lads

I thought I would start a thread to document the current builds and rebuilds I have going on instead of cloging up the CP thread with all my shit.

Got my Eric Hendren frame yesterday and cleaned and built it up.... Very happy with this frame as it was built in my home town on the year of my birth out of Columbus SL with Shimano dropouts and some really tight geo.

Pic of it when I purchased it. and the parts to go on it.

Wheelset is Zues 32/40H laced to Araya Hard annoed rims, Campy pista crankset, HS, BB, Seat post. Butchered Brooks B17. It will have a milled SR stem and Aussie made Track bars

Unpacked the frame cleaned, rust converted then Built.... got to fit the Campy headset and Awaiting different stem and a lock ring to arrive and i'm rocking... Super tight frame with really nice details made out of Columbus SL but with Shimano drop outs....
Super happy with it....

The other project is a Custom made Waltworks 29er frame that I am building into a MonsterX rig. I love this frame as it reminds me of a Fat Chance Yo-Eddy I lusted over as a kid racing XC... Frame is made from True Temper OX platinum and Versus Ht tubing

Buildinig Hope Ti hubs up to Velocity Blunt 29er rims

On One Midge bars and Salsa stem and post also

I will be running single speed 32x19

Also rebuilding Must Custom Columbus Max roady. Getting rid of the weight weenie stuff and fitting C-Rec Era Chorus Group.

Took the Rat Hendren out for a spin now that its finished... 1 cm smaller than I normally ride and heaps of toe overlap but at the same time funner....... if thats a word...

and when I got home my new stem was waiting... Sr Royal Drilled SL stem..

Nice details in the frame... neat seat stay caps...
Also the Kumo is wired for speed... Campy Chorus nearly done... just awaiting crankset and 8 speed chain...

fantastic collection!

the headset on the lugged alu thing is bonkers

Kumo max is done

love it. all black and polished parts are definitely the way to go on a frame like that (ignoring the white pedals)

Also my Malvern Star 5 star chrome track

Holy pr0n batman.

5 Star Done

The lugs on the Malvern are by far the best I've ever seen.

It's the small details that make a bike for me.
