Do you even google? The bike is smooth AF ;)

That's sharp AF

Nice fillet on the stem. Where did you get the tubes for it? I remember that aircraft spruce had some tubes in the right diameter...

Wow, what a steep learning curve and progress. Congrats, looking forward to the bahnfresser!

That's hardly anti..

Looking forward to this. If you don't mind me asking, how and when did you get in framebuilding?

second dibs if still available and postage not too expansive!

Ride it like you stole (paid no tax on) it ;)

Ta, i fear all crabon things

My Hylix 1" fork just arrived at my bros adresse and he sent me these pics... should i be worried, complain to the seller or are the inconsistancies normal?? Not really happy about all the scratching particullary about that deep cut..

Good job! Bottle cages ID?

the wedge on the other side is probably stuck, unscrew the hex, then screw it just a couple of turns in and give it a light tap with a hammer, this will usually free the wedge and the adapter. if that doesn't work, take the hex out before you f*ck up the threads and tap the wedge out using something long (screwdriver, tap, piece of iron rod...)..

if the stem from giant was too big, it probably means that it was an 1" adapter with a shim for 1 1/8" stem, this is usually how they come...

So nice to see someone restore a bike rather then just bin it, sentimental value appreciated. Good job!

I've would have bought it if you weren't quicker... holes on both end of the crack and bronze filler, if you ask me. I would like to hear what the frame builders have to say, apart from chucking it. Looking forward to the build. MIG sounds crude to tubes this thin

@jdmitch told you to use countersunk bolts ;)
Any t-shirts left!?

To me it sound like a lot of hassle, you might have better chances of building a enough straigth frame with a home made jig. Plenty of people have done it with wooden jigs and eyeballing.

They were a lucky find. I bought them used.. the forum popular was the crmo agressor stem, but i couldnt find that either...

@Señor_Bear
Feel you about the stem, I ordered two CNCed 1" ahead stems from USA E-bay, looking forward to receiving them. Will be limited to 26mm bars though...

@Carabo I guess I will risk it, I currently have a nice used full carbon fork (suspect it might be FS4) but I dont like how much flex it has when braking and not knowing how it was treated before.

I am also planing on building a nice straight lightweight fork (600-700g) and repainting my Koga Miyata. Will update once the fork and stems are here!

@Señor_Bear how's the finish on that fork, i have it on my watch list since month..

I might be the first one to say, wrong frame size, wrong wheel size. Nice frame though, dibs :)

Much nicer with beefier tyres, good job!

Whats the procedure like exactly? Do you silver braze these? Preinsert the coils?

Any opinions on the 1" 1.6/1.1. steerer? Rider weight limit?

What @Eamesy said, anyway if you are repainting it, you could decide what decal in which size you want to put on it..

@Markgee I was actually asking about real Max for the next project.

@wildwest 600g sounds amazing, I would be very happy to go sub 700g. Yeah I was thinking of going all reynolds, but it would all be much easier with a spredsheet and some concrete weight data... should anybody care to share his own data i would be very keen.
