Hulsroy's Hustle

Got my wife's rack back from powder.
It clears cables much better now after the mod.
I'll get her a bag an decaleur for it at some point

The purple bike is not suitable for child transportation so I am having to make my wife a mum bike.
I was going to make a cargo bike for her, but as I have very little time to do so I have decided to mod this old Kona Cinder Cone instead. Adding disc tabs is not wasted anyways.
Later I'll convert this into a cargo bike or maybe I'll start from scratch.

Oh no! Another Hulsroy project to follow...!

Already looking cool

It will be a parts bin build with stuff I saved for myself.

I'll take the hope wheels and avid juicy brakes from my GT ruckus. And I have a pair of Nitto bull moose and a 26.8 Zoom seatpost that will look good one there.
But I am need of a SRAM 10sp trigger or a Shimano trigger and rear mech.

ahh ok, i really gotta get a mill, dont fancy trying to get that with a file. Might be able to bodge something on my lathe hah

That’s basically just a stationary horizontal mill right :)

haha more or less

It's not so bad. I did these with just files.

But @Biggles567is TIG welding it so will probably need a super snug fit right?

This was my setup @Biggles567

Though I say it myself, the fit was pretty damn tight on those mitres! Easier to do it on a mill if you've got the fixtures though.

I am just trying to be funny

I've got a spare bag attachment bit for a decaleur if you want to fabricate the handlebar side of the mount?

Sure thing buddy. Send me a photo please

Nice one, fit looks good! id tig that very happily hah Did you just use a really small half round?

Ah thats cool, id love to have the space for something like that.

i have a roadarunner VO bag with 1 1/8 decaleur, could drop with spattr with rest of your bits?

How much?

My mtb is increasingly becoming my favourite bike. It brings me soooo much joy.
Just wish I had someone to ride with on a regular basis.
Handlebars had started creaking even though I greased the stem/bar interface. Cheap shit bars off eBay seem to have deformed although stem was done up to specs (4nm)

I wish I could store my bike in my bathroom as well!
Very nice bike.

Ha. That's the workshop bathroom. Not the nicest place on earth, but it allows us to shit, clean bikes and wash hands.

Cheers! Used a large rat tail file, which was just under 16mm diameter.

It does look ace. If I was to go MTB I would want something like this.

Thanks man.

Awesome aesthetics throughout on these last pages, as expected but still - most impressive.
