AndreZA Posted March 2, 2011 Share The North American Handmade Bicycle show is on at the moment and I thought this must be one of the best ideas there. Hydraulic brake tube runs inside the frame. http://cdn0.media.cyclingnews.futurecdn.net/2011/02/28/2/vertigo_ht_head_tube_2_600.jpg Vertigo Cycles principal Sean Chaney fed a titanium hydraulic tube all the way through the frame, starting at the front of the down tube and finishing back on the chain stay.http://cdn4.media.cyclingnews.futurecdn.net/2011/02/28/2/vertigo_ht_rear_brake_600.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david16v Posted March 2, 2011 Share Lets hope he actually ran a pipe down there and didn`t just use the down tube and chain stay as the pipe Very nice indeed! Edited March 2, 2011 by david16v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Keep Pedaling Posted March 2, 2011 Share "titanium hydraulic tube" Now why does that sound like its going to set me back a few Sheckles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breezer Posted March 2, 2011 Share And when it leak you buy a new frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drongo Posted March 2, 2011 Share Nice! But there is another improvement shown here. See where the calipre is mounted? Tipped down and forward on the rotor. No 'pull-out' force on the wheel! Very sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodTi Posted March 2, 2011 Share Apologies for the [hi-jack], but have a look at this simplicity... Anyone prepared to suggest that the length of the seatpost might absorb plenty of trail-stutter??... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Potter Posted March 2, 2011 Share How much break fluid do you need to pore in that frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted March 2, 2011 Share My mind would tell me they either brazed / welded a Ti tube into the main tubes (In my mind the most likely solution) or they have a conventional hydraulic hose routed through the frame set .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintSauce Posted March 2, 2011 Share This is art... Sorry, but 'Art' is not mass-produced in a factory in Taiwan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
