Hulsroy's Hustle

Yes!

Yo yo yo

Waaay to busy doing exhibition work. All I want to do is go to the workshop and finish pish's bike and get started on cages.

Almost done though! Rack is tracked using TIG and ready for fillets and brazeons. Maybe already tonight...

Custom rack is dreamy

very nice rack... do you tack the parts together with the TIG and then fillet braze them off the bike?

Thanks @si_mon628

@RabiCycle yes. For stuff where I don't have a jig sorted out yet I tack using TIG. I normally TIG with stainless steel filler rods, but if I am putting brass fillets over I will use reg steel filler rods for tacking.

Great work, so many nice signature style details! Are you exhibiting at Kolektif again?

No kolektif I am afraid. Sounds like they are not doing small custom builders this year.
This frame set will be at Bespoked in Dresden. Whether I will attend personally is still tbc.
Move to Copenhagen and uncertainties related to this and finding a new workshop makes it hard to commit

Fair enough :) Too bad they move the focus away from small custom builders, imo that was the main appeal. Rad race won’t happen either since the go-kart track has been torn down… Good luck with your search for a workshop!

ah interesting. is the rack stainless? is the reason you dont TIG it all the way just that the brass fillets look nicer?

It's mostly 4130. I am brazing it as it will be powder coated like the rest of the frameset and I thought it would look great. When I do stainless racks I have mostly been Tig welding it, but I don't really enjoy TIG welding racks tbh. The 10mm tubes distort a lot when Tig welded I find. I have done a couple of racks with fillet pro, but it is soooo mega expensive.
My next rack will be for my private ATB and that will likely be TIG stainless.

thanks for explaining! bike looks fab...

Let's do Dresden then @Sig_Arlecchino @Rodolfo?

Excuse my ignorance but what are these smiley thingies for? Do they need to be brazed on?

Cable guides

It’s giving the cable a big happy hug, I love it

And motorboating it at the same time :)

And now you’ve ruined it ;)

fuck internal cable routing.. this is the kind of improvements to bicycle construction I can get behind.

Just to be perfectly clear. I am not against internal cable routing. On a road bike it looks sleek and if you know your setup and won't change it anytime soon it's great imo.

This was a design request from Stayer Cycles. But I will definitely use it myself at some point.

I am biased as I have just had to deal with internally routed hydros on the wife's e-bike.. Which made me want to bin the Shimano hydros, until I realised I'd have to take the motor out and do god know what to the steerer assembly in order to route hoses for new brakes.

tl;dr: I'm putting our money towards internally routed anything again.

I love internal routed Di2/hydro. Looks like I'm turning to the devil and sticking AXS on at least one of my MTBs though.

I kinda want cables now just to have these all over my bike...

: )

I wish my caad had external cables with cable stops.

i think being held like this would heal me

I could design a big soft chaiselong for you with similar shape
