  1. Thanks for the info. Looks like cycle sure offer personal liability aswell.
  2. Had 4 bikes stolen, it 2 covered as under house hold insurance. Bikes have been replaced. I would like to specify the bikes now Are there recommended bike specific insurers ? Thanks
  3. Hi Shaper, Yes, I will need to get a jig, i've looked at the 80:20 aluminium profiles that you can make one out of. All tubes come a standard length, The need to be measured depending on your height and frame size your wanting to build. Then mitering. I'm going to need all the help i can get.
  4. Thanks for taking the time to detail your story. Ill have a look at these.
  5. Thanks B20PV, Chainsaw. Ill have look at those sites.
  6. Hi Guys, Funny story, Ive always been a keen bike rider, done argus multiple times, MTB races etc. Always wanted to build a bike. I researched for months online. I found the best place to buy everything at one place was this place in the UK http://ceeway.com/ i went over to the uk for business and had it shipped locally. The tubes and lugs have been sitting in my garage for about 2 years. Had a little boy and now have just had twins. But both my bikes have been stolen , so this is a good option right now. Ill keep this updated. Ive just moved to PE as well and contacted Momsen bikes as their head office is here. Trev
  7. Hi guys. So I got myself two new frames. Only thing is I need to build it up. Any suggestions on where I can learn to braze? These will be fixies. The tubing is Columbus sl and Columbus cromo. The lugs and investment cast lugs. One set is stainless steel.
  8. Hi All. I've had a back fusion and it's been 8 months now. I'm feeling in good shape and time to get back on the bike. Only thing is both my bike were stolen. Waiting for insurance to pay. Any recomodation on a soft tail Mtb that's not so aggressive as a stage racer. I previously had a Scott cr1 pro and a Merida 1200d dual suspension. I stay in Pe and the Momsen head office is right here. Very tempting! Thanks

  15. Hey guys. I'm looking for some one with some past frame building experience I've got a project I would like to start. It would be building a frame from scratch with lugs and steel tubing. Just need some guidance. Thanks
