philking Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Very impressed! I think its great to see people trying these kind of rather daring projects out. It looks real good built up as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLeacock™ Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 One think ive noticed is, that if you look at alot of the double disk frames now, they all seem to have like a brace from the chainstay to the seatstay, I guess this would be to stop the pressure from the rear disk ? I'll use the kot to show you what i mean... I might be talking complete bolloks, but im sure i read somewere that it reduces flex and strenghens the frame...? But I really like that, looks extremly good, nice colour choice and components Is the cable routed through the frame ....:| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgieporgie Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'm thinking about riding it in Ipswich on Sunday to give it a test, it would be great if some people wanted to come and give it a hammering/evaluate it for me? I need to get some photos of other people riding it too for my coursework to say it's been tested!Up for that i rekon Have you got my number?i deleted your's when i got my new phone call andy, gayray, Shaun, martin?

basher Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 It will deffo crack on the chainstay with no brace so might be worth seeing if you can put one in if your contemplateing riding the frame for quite a while. Looks really good though and the geo isnt to bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really annoying, running a 2.1 and clearence is pretty minimal, but it's grippy enough for street and it's definitely rideable. No signs of cracks yet, check out the riding phootos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Neal Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Fair play, nice clean design and nice geo. Not sure it'll take the stresses from that disc for that long but enjoy it while it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf the Yellow Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 i must say, good effort. must be something real special if you designed and manufactured yourself!i wouldn't even care if it rides shit/heavy (though the geo sounds great ), the point is you went through plenty of time and effort on this and i reckon you deserve a round of applause!so..what is the weight? steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 It's not going to be my permanent ride, it's just a prototype. It's made from mild steel and weighs around the 3kg mark get it weighed properly when it's unbuilt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thats impressive.. Looks good! How long did it take from when you first started designing to when you finished it?From getting the tubing to finishing the paint job, about 5 weeks worth of tech lessons and a few hours worth of free periods, about 30ish hours in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
