Iwan Kemp Posted April 17, 2014 Share Things have been a bit quiet, too quiet, on my front with the build. That's largely down to me doing an about-turn on the paint job. Click here to view the article Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwan Kemp Posted April 17, 2014 Share Awesome fred Out of interest...what steel tubing is the momsen made from? I am a sucker for a good retro singlespeed.From Reynolds' sitehttp://reynoldstechnology.biz/our_materials_525.php COLD-WORKED CHROME-MOLY STEEL With similar properties to our original 531 brand alloy. For cycling, these are mandrel butted for accurate profiles, and available in a wide range of shapes. Weight savings from butting provide competitively priced, light framesets. The Reynolds "520" range uses the same alloy, made under license for us in Taiwan and subject to the same quality standards. Reynolds 525 range can be used for sports car chassis, suspension units, motorcycle race frames etc. in welded and fillet-brazed structures. Why it works:UTS: 700-900 MPa, density 7.78gm/cc The same 0.30% carbon steel chemistry as our 725 range but without the heat-treatment process. The strength and ductility can be varied by cold-working and normalizing if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beattbox Posted April 17, 2014 Share Very nice! Anton has just done my road bike frame and did a fantastic job. Your frame is in good hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwan Kemp Posted May 24, 2014 Share Right. Sheesh. Seems the fewer the gears, the longer the build! Frame and fork has been delivered, working on the next installment and should have it all build up and ready to ride in a week(-ish). BogusOne has done a killer job on the paint job. Couldn't be happier with his creative input as well as how nice it's come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
