I belive the seat stays were the problem?
What is the downtube lenght?

Horizontal dropouts and aren't a problem. In the proper sized version of this photo (don't know why it's small above?), you can see I've made it compatible with snail cams to tension the chain and stop everything moving.

Very nice frame, whats the weight?
What kind of tubing?

wich one is the final logo, or you will be using both?

God knows...might be different for each frame

[SIZE=5]Kajak Custom[/SIZE] = do you do custom comissions? i have a lowpro that needs some horizontal drop outs that i have too - any joy?

Im happy to help

When you get the tubes, are they pre shaped or do you just get a batch of tubes and work them to get the required shapes?

Shapes???
1) Yes I do miter the tubes.
2) No I dont bend the tubes, quality heat treated tubes are not bendable.

Usualy the chainstays and seatstays come prebent.

so what happenned to the ballpark figure on the pricetag? you don't expect every single forum member to PM you for a price? come on, spill it, we all know it's a generalisation, but still

Deda double butted cr-mo frames starts from 400

P.S. I'm looking for a cross frame. Want to build me one? - Serious request -

Sure, minus the fork.

All these are ace! Where do you get tubing from?

Renolds, Columbus, Dedaccai

Lovely work Kajak. Really nice. Are you the guy with a workshop in Deptford?

Nope
London

Do you want me to build you one? :)

Hi Kajak, lovely looking builds. Do you always use the same accidental/on purpose double 'o' in custom? For me your badge let's down the great frames a bit. Do you want any help on that front?

I'll tell you what, i'll do you a good logo, you can build me a frame ;-)

Thats very kind of you.
Im happy with the letter stamps, thats my "Polish" touch
Everyone has a facy logol ike laser cut, silver plate etc i'll keep my primitive
Whenever i feel like I'll make it in a different way

Oh so it was actually an old Raleigh frame in the first place then?? blimey, I thought you made the hole frame.

must've been tricky trying to put on a sliding dropout/disc mount on an old steel frame that doesn't know such thing exist in the first place.

how safe it is to weld in a disc mount on an old fork?

With a bit of reinceforment for ladys riding style should be ok
but in general it dosent sound safe...
The frame has got new chain/seat stays

Wow, congratulations! Very tidy and creative work. Where are you from? Did you get the idea for Galazs seatstay bridge from my bike or did we have the same idea at almost the same time?

There is a few builders out there making oval bridges

Kajak, can you tell us what's the story about this frame? look pretty awesome;

Somebody had a funny request and ask me to convert old Raleigh frame to disc brakes...

Nice work! They (and that rather lovely jig) look a little more than just 'home-made'. I'm building my number two at the moment, at home, and between the day job and the children it is taking forever.

Thanks I practically live in my workshop

I live in London, did you build your frame yourself??
