New screenshot of magura mount with clamps. Yeee, i was planning on welding the two together, lathing the bb shell in one go, milling the slots then later milling the yoke separately. Well, the idea is to have seat stays that directly reinforce the magura mounting area. Ill bang up some more cad pictures in a moment to illustrate Righto I'll re-do that now Thanks for the feedback Guys. EDIT: I reckon the gap between the plates that the magura clamps fit into could be decreased? hmmm...any ideas folks?

Rear magura.... echo brakes tend to part company with their fluid pretty quickly

Sure would, toying with a few ideas at the moment Touche, Just googled it and you;re right Ah, I hadnt actually noticed how sharp it was I'll get right on that cpt. Thanks very much dude... Here's the new BB yolk. Pictures of forks will be up shortly.

Dude, come on....there's a picture just below it with a toptube I'm putting in a seat-tube as well...just not so sure how i want it to go. Maybe coustellier style, or possibly a la rockman slate. Geo is 1085, +35, 380, 71.5 ....so far anyway Ill bang up a picture of the magura mount with the slave in if i have time today Max

Damn straight....urbans, or lites. Or if you've got the money viz forks. Love me stock ones.

Right...so here we are after a massive bump. Projects stands thus; * Bottom bracket, Magura mount and all tubes barring seat tube fully cad modelled * Pages and pages done on aluminium research with the conclusion that the 6000 ( 6061 ) aluminium will have to undergo 2 heat treatment stages to regain it's t6 temper. * Magura mount has been fully designed, and tested on CAD Attached are pictures of the BB yolk, Magura mount system, Frame assembly ( very rough ), dropouts and headtube. Tomorrow I'll have the first proper part assembly renderings finished. All comments welcome, especially possible improvements.

haha was that filmed in Plymouth....? Looks like a right heap, lateral stiffness=nil

Less flicky..... for sure. 26" at 1030-40 odd would be shit, basically an onza woodstock length?

Meh, why not just get hold of a Zebdi? or short levelboss or the like.....cheap as anything, fairly readily available

It is heavy when its that expensive....lets be honest, that frame is going to be bought by people that care about weight isn't it?

Meh bugger that, i Just ride trials once a week....do next to no exercise, and never been gym

fek off

Heh i was thinking the very same thing....

Video from me soonish and ill be doing a Xmas Eve ride video too. yarp, tis noice to ride when plymouth's a little moist Thanks bru sure isss

Here you are guyyyyys, pictures from last weekend. Stills taken from a vga 640x480 source so shite quality...but hey ho click me...........

Holy shit that guys ridiculously explosive Just rams the bike down for gaps,

Riding was keen, only thing i didn't like was the lighting...couldn't see much, apart from that...was class

heh agreed.... Someone said you're too stiff, and i reckon so as well... good riding so far though

Theyre gash....hifi geo. Very short (1070?) and high bb (+55?) so not great in my books. rockman fo shure, but getr an isis, slate NOT the kortz, epic weak spot in them

It's an echo urban fork / echo pure with a standard hope adaptor. The top of the mount on the fork is hitting the adaptor, once the fork or adaptor ahs had a small amount of material removed it'll fit fine. Then you'll have the problem of 200mm adaptor with 203 rotor

I uses kings...cos they were cheap

sikk get to see your new shiny rockman ( which'll be lighter than mine now ) ah you gay! i just sold you cranks and pedals! i haz barz if needs be beautttty

erm....ditch the forks for sure, and id say get an Echo TR or Tensile FFW. Not a fan of the Try-all BB's so maybe an fsa? I'd go contiental rear tyre ( rain king / dk ) and a try-all front tyre Apart from that...all good i reckon

That....will be interesting

Met you on Sunday I think? Anyway....ride soon
