still needs bartape and a few other bits but pretty much there, also just built up these lightbicycle rims on bitex hubs which came together nicely

Also got the track frame painted to match :)

will get some better pics when its sunny

Both incredibly good!

I’ve seen the new bikes IRL and they are unbelievably good!

Great proportions, lovely details and a very clean build 10/10 👌

don't know where to ask this or if I should start a thread but does anyone know if/how resetting an Aluminium frame is a thing (I know most will obviously say no bin it etc but frame in question is only very slightly out and wanted to try to save it if I can - also if anyone knows a better thread to ask on I'm all ears!)

Cheers,
Matt

Both so good mate, is that a 1.5" ENVE fork?

Excellent, really great work!!

Tasty. How is the headtube badge/decal plan coming along?

I think you have to apply a fair amount of heat, and the process is less than guaranteed or optimal.
You can spread the dropouts by 5mm to fit a 135 in say a 130, but you won't set it, and it will be a constant nightmare when you take the wheel out. And you risk stressing the frame to breaking point every time you do.

Thanks all! im pretty happy with these yeah, its really nice to get the track frame painted, its been sitting raw for almost a year now and always felt unfinished without paint.

@jono84 Cheers! yeah its a enve road fork, which has a bit more rake than is ideal but works out pretty well with this frame. Also has a brake hole which is nice for getting down to herne hill

Inspirational thread, really nice seeing the process and the results look real nice.

HDIJ build

Is this still happening?

Both bikes are gorgeous. Does the track bike have colored spokes or is it chromatic aberration?

Thanks! and yeah although its slightly different, i was thinking of building a frame for it but changed my mind and will just put those road levers on the track bike, ive gotta stop building bikes for myself hah.

Thanks :) its chromatic aberration yeah, no coloured spokes

How is the headtube badge

Fairly slowly, im still not really settled on a design or brandmark or whatever. I do have the stickers that i put on the downtube, which i dont hate the design of. But yeah not really sure which direction i will go yet. I also dont have that much stainless to practice with, and tend to keep the little bits i have for frame stuff like di2 ports and other things. Ill buy some stainless sheet at some point and just give a bunch of different designs a go.

Insane skills as always. Matching bikes are something else, they look great.

Thanks! I got some better photos, for some reason didnt clean the rims tho so covered in my fingerprints
