Hacks / Bodges

Hahah! Seems safe

That's brilliant.

Not safe but cool. Is it a hack or a bodge?

Bodge. I'd ride many hideous creations but not that.

Would this be heavy and flex being (presumably) mild steel...

cool!

Reminds me of my Onza T-pro trials bike I had when I was 16 that was made from box section tubing for whatever reason.

Interesting. Any pictures?

Theres barely any pics of the model I had online, this is the only one I can find of it built up. Mine had mini v's rather than those hydro maguras though.

@skrtluv?

genuine lol

anyone tried anything like this? thinking of giving it a go.

Me too. Probably after christmas now. Let me know how you get on

yeah will do , planning on using similar design as the guy in the link but with an alternative to the seat stay.

Any thoughts on brazing cantilever bosses onto track forks?

Bought some p clips to get this started. Will soon find out f it is a hack or bodge.

Hack

Why not?

Ah was worried that they might not have the structural integrity to deal with the forces involved

Be fine. I believe Brooklyn ben did it on his gangsta track. V1 fork - not your typical steel fork tho.

re canti bosses, regardless of the strength I think track forks would be too narrow

Here's my brake boss solution:

I wasn't sure what thread it would belong in at the time but this feels like the right place.
