ThePubSA Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 W Well it depends what I am building with. Everything I make is custom so it depends on what you want. Something along the lines of your wifes bike ,Except XL & maybe take 140mm fork upfront
Flowta Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Something along the lines of your wifes bike ,Except XL & maybe take 140mm fork upfront +1 Also, would you consider installing S&S couplers on a frame that was brought to you? If so how much would you charge? First prize would be for me to get a custom MTB made by you with them already installed.
Deep Section Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 Sure i would do S&S couplers for you. You do know my work shop is in London
Flowta Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Sure i would do S&S couplers for you. You do know my work shop is in London Hahaha, those are logistics I would have to get sorted out. Don't know anyone who would do them here in Cape Town. I have family and friends in UK. Any clue as to what a All Mountain type frame (i.e. like an On-one 456 summer season) would set me back?
TNT1 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 W Well it depends what I am building with. Everything I make is custom so it depends on what you want. Well, for example, the one in the pics here?
Deep Section Posted October 29, 2012 Author Posted October 29, 2012 Well, for example, the one in the pics here? The one in question went for £1579.00
Mellow Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 That Saffron is a truly beautiful bike. Well done !
hayleyearth Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 I only saw this thread now for the 1st time and I got goosebumps! WOW, those are fancy looking bikes. For my personal interest - how do you perform strength tests on those welds/connection areas? You can PM if you dont want to say here...it will be interseting to know.

Deep Section Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 Okay so this is a build i am working on at the moment. I have done a bit of carving to these lugs(pics will follow)
rudi-h Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Okay so this is a build i am working on at the moment. I have done a bit of carving to these lugs(pics will follow) Where do you get the connection pieces? Did you get them cast yourself?
Deep Section Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 Where do you get the connection pieces? Did you get them cast yourself? The connection pieces are called lugs. I purchase them as is.
jimmy hardtail Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Is it possible to get tubesets in sa? Or would I have to import myself? I have made a few mtb frames out of mild steel as practice and to get the geometry right but am keen to make one out of reel steel! Can't find cromoly anywhere in sa, even straight gauge tubing.
