It's very satifying riding what you have built

There is nothing stopping you building your self a frame!

 

It's a Paris-Bress fork crown

 

Would love to come back to S.A but it will be a uphill battle convincing people to ride steel.

Biggest cost would be a jig I would imagine.

Maybe I could email you and chat about it.

 

Yes Generally South Africans are hell bent on the latest technology carbon.

And if you look at the cost of a custom steel frame, you can buy a really good carbon frame, but in 40 years the carbon frame will be on the dump (Probably cracked).

I own a 1968 Cinelli SC Pista and a 1989 Colnago Master, I want to see Carbon last that long.

 

I am very impressed with your work mate.

I am happy to help. it's a satifying process malking a frame that you can ride.

 

This is a cheap jig, should last for a couple of frames http://www.flatpackfoundry.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=50

 

I interviewed Ron Cooper who recently passed away, he never used a jig in the 60 odd years he was building

That man was a pure legend and his frames were awesome. Two of my best bikes had to be a Cooper 753 and a Chas Roberts TLX.

 

Wish I hadn't got rid of them for the next new thing!

Thanks for the help.

I have been looking at this jig, but was not sure if it was worth the money because of what it is made of.

Wish I could get hold of some old stuff from Gotty Hansen or alike.

 

This jig seems to be the most cost effective.

 

Once again, thanks for the info.

can you PM me what the cost of a machine like this is.

[Ramrod]

Hey Deep Section. Tried going to your Saffron website but it doesnt work. Might be interested in getting you to do a frame for me.

[rouxtjie]

can you PM me what the cost of a machine like this is.

If the standard is anything to go by, you probably looking at 2000.........US
