Bike Mielec

dolan frames are 45 x 36 your mielec is probably 45 x 45

Not the same headset as the Dolan, new 45/45 headset, was just saying the forks have been used and I know they work.

steerer still left a bit unchopped. Bars too high at the moment.

very, very nice. "Love the decals"

Aha! Turned out it was the cap bit on the top that was rubbing, just had to file down a very small spacer to go on top of the compression ring and bob's your uncle!

So nice! Love the wound ups.

gal you said that!

I starting putting my brother's Gash together yesterday.

Going for a mostly silver colour scheme with pink bits.

54cm, sparkle clearcoat, lowered rear stays, external headset.

It was actually quite hard to find aluminium forks - ended up going for Leader ones that I have stripped (http://www.lfgss.com/thread104738.html)

I'm going to Condor to get 1 1/8th silver spacers at lunchtime.

The weight isn't too bad - 54cm frame, bottom bracket, seat clamp, headset.
It is actually the same weight as my old Planet X Track frame!

I was trying to keep this build under controlled budget

The frame was £100 including postage so the only 'luxury' I went for was the sparkle clear coat.

Is that a totally standard mash copy then in 54cm?
once you've got it built up (with those forks) could you tell me the BB clearance, centre to ground. Cheers.

Standard bar the lowered rear stays.

I will measure the clearance with those forks - keep in mind that this headset is proper beefy as it is an offroad motorbike one (FMF Powermoto) so that skews the geo a bit.

looks fucking awesome!

Indeed it does, please hurry with build pics :)

No one selling one of these frames yet?

54/55 mash copy?

I could do with some help for a Mielec order - if anyone that has ordered through Robert wanted to pm me and talk me through the questions I had, I'd be grateful.

And for those who haven't seen Hambar and I building our other Mielec frames, here they are:

never finished till the bartape is wrapped.

does look nice though, i like the orange alpinas, you paint them yourself?

I dont use bartape. Have considered orange though. Thanks. Yup, sandpapered them up and used GOLD fluorescent chock orange and mate finish. Im affraid its not gonna hold long though. Well see.

flourescent offers great potential, and you didnt take advantage a bit using matte clearcoat...
if you let it cure couple of days, and then clearcoat, results should be better.
also many thin layers are better than one thick:)

Mega awesome! Fork is sick. Especially with the OG Krink sticker
