I should give status on my project as well - I have spend a couple of
evenings in the garage and brazed the front frame together - I just need
some stabilizers for the axlehousing/square tube connections.
Brazing is the way to go with this experiment IMO - because I have an easy
way to go back one step ;-) Just add heat, moderate pressure and a file -
voila! I've used this trick after I installed the bottom bracket (front
bracket?) upside down (links thread on left). And I suspect I'll use it
again anytime soon..
I use axle, housing and bearings from Tempelmann (flevobike) for centerlink,
and it looks like I'm getting a very sleek bike, and it's very easy to
seperate. I think It will be very easy to fabricate a bag for it so I can
bring it anywhere, despite of my 700c (ISO 622) wheel choice.
Now, on with the rear frame - I'm too heavy to rely on a front fork, so I'm
brazing it together from the 30*10*1,5mm tubing (same as the front frame).
This should give a no-nonsense industrial look, a bit like Zox 20/20.
As You probably can tell, my motivation is high right now, mainly because of
the positive feedback from around the world. Keem 'em updates coming! Also,
starting to put the parts together in real life is a great motivator. To all
the designers out there - print the drawings and go to the garage. If the
bike doesn't work, grab the angle grinder or torch (depending of Your
building methods), and start over.
I should be able to shoot som pic's soon, will post them on my homepage.
Cheers,
Torben
