Bike Mielec

"big possible" list makes sense only after people declare to pay money, and I am sure he will see it the same way. we slavs are very cynical about promises (thank communists and recently the twins), and lists from lfgss have their own definition too ;)

Well he posible list are the ones not makig promises. I can't confirm whether I'm in or not until I know how much it's going to cost me.

guys wishbone is more expensive, they are offering triangular shaped profile on the toptube and flattened downtube as options, obvs more £££, I will ask him for quotes for wishbone and normal stays as well, tubing will leave open to debate.
sorry if you all know this but cba to read through the whole thread

turnaround is 50-60 pcs a month, so they are busy, but he couldnt give me an estimate on the awaiting time. he will get back to me with quote based on the list above in the evening time today.

Cheers arch! This forum really is a great place for everything ;D

Look forward to what he has to say as i had absolutely no idea what his reply meant.

My budget is £100 really so if its looking like its going to end up more like £150 i may have to call myself out

£100 posted is what im hoping for too. If wishbone needs to be dropped to get to that price then im fine with that

Remind me again what the wishbone was, are we talking the bridge between the rear seat stays? What was the other (I guess cheap/standard) option?

(CasaSteve, moved you onto the definites list)

Thanks! :)

yeah the wishbone is just like in one of pictures posted before,
the other option are standard very MASH-like seatstays with brake bridge.
I had a really tough moment because I have no idea how the wishbone is called in polish, so me describing it sounded probably a bit ridiculous.

on a side note, it can come with 1 or 1 1/8 headtube, no charge.

I separated myself from any previous enquiries just to see how far can he go in terms or price-drops for a fellow one, my feeling is there will be a difference.

Since they do all the frames by themselves and there is no china pre-ordering involved, I took the liberty of asking for a quote for your specific requests, this should work - esp. because for example weld smoothing happens in the post-production stage anyway that should not affect the price.

Rogan you still want them levers?

sweet. will have 1inch on mine then B-)

Fuck, I left this in rats thread and come back to this!

I do kinda get the feel that to avoid upsets, its best to make the orders nice and simple, which is a shame as I thought this was a perfect opportunity to test out different geo, especially as I'm running a MASH as is.

But if it is possible to sort without too much hassle (can supply fully designed drawings with all measurements and shit) for a triple triangle frame with custom geometry, I'd be well up for one as a winter/beater bike.

Get back to me if this is an issue, cause I might well order one myself if needs be, but cheaper does fit beater ethos!

And could very well be tempted by a LOW geo frame too.

Mr Robert turned out to be a great time-keeper and got back to me already.
its quite elaborated, so will give you more details tomorrow, but not to tease you only I will leave you something that you can calculate things yourself, with relevant exchange rate

please note thats with discounts applied, i.e. dont hit him up saying 'oh hi can i please have this for that amount because I know you sold it to the other guy for xxx etc'

wishbone stays - 60PLN
clearcoat - 20PLN
smooth welds - 90PLN
powdercoat - 30PLN (jesus christ, lets ask them to open a branch in london please)

base frames:
triple triangle frame - 450PLN, this is made by them
'regular' frame, mash copy - 410PLN

sweedee, the diameter of headtube will be the same, they just use some sort of sloting shims which they give warranty for, so that should you wish you can just whack them out with fine adjustment tool (hammer).

and this all is without even mentioning the "possible" list at all even....

I know companies doing cheap posting for 25+ quid regardless of the size of box, up to 30kg.
depending on how much the frame would weigh, we could ask them to tape 4 boxes together so we have 2 shipments sub 30kg each and we pay only for two shipments, so its going to be 50-60gbp for the whole thing so 8 quid per head:)

tl;dr - sub 100GBP posted achieveable easily, depending on our shipping solution

A lot of people from the french fixed gear forum have ordered Mielec frames lately. They are quite flexible and cheap

This for 200€ delivered (plus a 80€ paintjob)
