BogusOne Posted November 25, 2012 Share So i havent posted for a while but im proud to say that i am making some progress on the build. The original chain stays of which i posted a pic above before wrapping ended up in a pile of waste as it all just started disintegrating when i started to wrap it. The foam was just too flimsy so i had to start all over again... Personally i think they turned out pretty good. The chain stays i finished today and also added them to the frame. Here are some pics of the stays after i finished wrapping them and after i added them to the frame. Most of the joints have also now been epoxied. Tomorrow i will be able to remove the frame from the jig and then start the hard work of smooting everything out and wrapping all the joints with some more carbon fibre. Enjoy! Sorry bout the poor crapberry pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M L Posted November 27, 2012 Share Should make a lekker bonus if you make a few rigid forks and sell them, lots of people wanting rigids for their SS builds... Mind giving some costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
