Thug Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Soon to be completed... The momsen will donate some parts to "The flying Dutchman". Since I'm first generation Dutchman South Africa I thought my bike should pay some kind of a tribute to my heratige, hence the color scheme. I can't wait to put this puppy together!! That's going to be interesting with a Surly fork. Is that the KM fork?
Pieter1 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 That's going to be interesting with a Surly fork. Is that the KM fork?Yea it is. I'm hoping it looks good in the end.
Meezo Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 That's going to be interesting with a Surly fork. Is that the KM fork? Indeed its going to be interesting... As is every SS build? Cant wait to see end product!!! Pieter1 1

Wyatt Earp Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 That steel is the real deal!! Wow great job. Interested to know how the cut it? Laser? The tubing is quite thin.They cut a piece out and lugged (for a lack of better words) the jigsaw piece in.The weld was super neat and paintwork was touched up. Meezo 1

Eccentric BB, the frame will however run the new improved BB from Niner. Steel Is Real. Is a great frame, saw a SS one with a niner carbon fork at northern farms on Sunday, except was a chain drive and not belt. Just seeing the Reynolds sticker was enough to drool over ...
Wyatt Earp Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Do you think his warranty is void :-pYes. the nerd 1
flat29 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Yebo. Red for the fork and Smoke for the frame. Gave the frame a coat of matt black first though.where did you do it and how much
the nerd Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Yes. I was kidding... Also totally worth voiding the warranty for anyway!
