Herbertlemon102 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) I've just received my engineering scholarship and sponsor from Warwick university, and with it come £300 a year for me, £200 a year for my college to spend on me. They have no way of checking, but they said the money should be put towards "engineering related studies". I'm thinking of building a frame. I'd like to give it a go, anyway. I own a mod so it would be a mod frame. What should it look like? What features? I'd like some ideas and inspiration on interesting aesthetics and features.

onzatpro09 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 You could try magura mounts on the chainstay or underside of the seatstay? It may not be 100% efficient, but it would look hella cool you could also put the disc mount in the gap between the gap between the chainstay and seatstay rather than on top of it... It should have a sprung tensioner, but on top of the chainstay rather than hanging below so you can't bash it, but you retain the auto-tensioning, set and forget functionality Integrated seat, like an ashton? Definitely 135mm rear spacing so you can run a hope hub! You could play around with tubing profiles and materials to prevent denting downtubes and retaining strength elsewhere I guess... How about having the head bearings seat straight into the headtube? Bolt through axles? Would you do forks too? Sorry if half of that is incoherent, or a bit too extreme for you to actually do, I am just throwing ideas at my phone A bunch of that stuff is exactly what I would do if I were to build a mod frame, which I really want to do 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc.Jokie. Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 this should be in trials bike chat not chit chat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbertlemon102 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I'll create another one in trialschat, though I like those ideas!You could try magura mounts on the chainstay or underside of the seatstay?
