Pure Savage Posted September 7, 2016 Author Posted September 7, 2016 Where are you situated? I might be able to make a drop bar for it. Claremont in Cape Town. I have taken the wheels apart and it will be so tricky finding a disc small enough with fittings.
V12man Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Ok, normal pipe not going to work, took your suggestions, going with 22mm copper pipe, but too thin for stem, so have this set up. Just need a pumber in and around claremont. Handle bar.JPG image2.JPG Bike is being dropped off now for some magic. It is pretty easy to do with a gas torch, flux and lead solder - youtube will help you.
Pure Savage Posted September 7, 2016 Author Posted September 7, 2016 Ok, normal pipe not going to work, took your suggestions, going with 22mm copper pipe, but too thin for stem, so have this set up. So that the coupler will make the pipe a bit thicker for the stem clamp. Anyone have a clue how wide a 22mm coupler external is? Just need a pumber in and around claremont.

Think I may give it a try. Going to buy all the parts myself from penny pinchers any way, may as well give it a go. *Whats the worst that can happen? *

Pure Savage Posted September 7, 2016 Author Posted September 7, 2016 You heat it up and take it apart ..... then try again.... You obviously have not seen me and DIY. Things end badly. My go to tool is a mallet

Eddy Gordo Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Yes, definitely try bending the pipe. One continuous piece will look awesome
Pure Savage Posted September 8, 2016 Author Posted September 8, 2016 Yes, definitely try bending the pipe. One continuous piece will look awesome The pipe does not enjoy being bent that much, with some filler and tape think it will look the part.
Spoke101 Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Yes defiantly shorten, and maybe add another elbow.
