Hulsroy's Hustle

Maybe just a clearcoat and let the work show like an ever evolving piece of work/art?
I'm just glad I get the joy of unwrapping a new frame twice. Talk about value for money...

Always good catching up with this thread.

GT update

Angles are 73/73 and it should fit 40c tyres just fine.

Every time this thread pops up I think of this

Forks ∆ are just place holders.
I got the fork legs, Reynolds fork ends and seat tube replacement yesterday.

Angles are 73/73

Interested to know how you measure this. Head tube seems steeper than the seat tube to me (in the picture at least, could be lens distortion?) and Photoshop seems to agree (72 seat angle, 74 head angle).

Most accurate poor man's technique might be taut string from axle to axle, drop plumb line from the top of the tube, measure length from top of tube to axle-to-axle line (hypotenuse), measure horizontal length to plumb line along axle-to-axle line or from top of tube to axle-to-axle line (opposite/adjacent) and work it out with trigonometry. Just need some string and a tape measure.

arcsin(B/A) probably gives you the most accurate result

Head tube is trickier as you have to project a straight line down to the axle-to-axle line (i.e. discount fork offset)

This would work right?

Used my phone as one of my students destroyed my digital angle finder.

On an even more exciting note. I just go my custom Columbus 620mm R800 seat tube and a 73mm BSA BB shell for my mtb.

@tijs I've found this method to be quite accurate

Plz keep that seattube as long as possible. #massivefuckingframebag

Speaking of. I will need a nice custom frame bag. What the go to guy/gal for this?

Wildcat Gear!

Their website is shit.
I reckon I need to get in contact in order to get prices?

The Chris King wheelset I bought needs the ISO tool rather than the R45 tool and Stayer doesn't have that tool or intend to buy it. Anybody know where I can get it fixed? It is actually only the freehub that needs mending.

SBC Cycles. Full King tool chest. I tried buying the ISO tool once. I lost.

I knew it. I will go down there!
Thanks!!!

EDIT: They charge £45 for rear hub service. I will probably not get it cheaper than there...

Did you decide on colour yet?

If you do think about pebble grey (my preference) i'd really recommend white graphics. I had my girlfriends Fratello painted in a light grey and i wanted black graphics to match the components. Luckily i was talked into white and it looks so much better then black would of, really brings the paint to life. Anywho, just my opinion, rad projects as always.

Well, As it will be vinyl on top I can try both or even a different colour. And no, I can not make up my mind :(

White with a black outline surely?

Not a possibility with vinyl. But I could buy some on eBay I reckon. No EDGE decals tho

Really looking forward to progress pics on this!

worth speaking to Gil maybe? https://www.instagram.com/retrodecals/
