Ah, so is the z-axis controlled by the stylus acting as a hydraulic valve and the operator controls x, y and sets depth of cut limit? Very different to the machine I found. The days before machine guards!

Just had to look that machine up - wondered if the pantograph element would be powered at all but it appears not, just the cutter. Lots of shallow cuts I presume? I've seen something similar for copying chair seats but rather more rudimentary.

Albeit a really slow one.

Are you sure it's not a mimetic polyalloy?

You'll obviously have the best idea as seeing things in the metal makes all the difference. Watching with interest (and lots of very sinful envy) - have fun!

Looks good to me but were you not feeling it?

I'd kept my gob shut until now as it seemed a done deal for the dark theme but I think it would look stunning with some more bright aluminium on show (even at the expense of the super trick ti bits). The Turbines and the fork crown/brace certainly aren't fighting with the paint, they accentuate...

The seat to chain/stay gusset is a work of art! So very hard to pick a best bit on that beauty though.

That £15 will come in handy for the dentist bill and loss of earnings etc.

Looking at the fixing counterbore they've likely been riding it just on the bolt since 1987 but that's finally got a bit too baggy 🤠

Some things are worth the wait and this looks like one of them! Are there some inconsistencies or cable/heel rub with the bead blasted finish on the frame?

Depends how far away you hold them 😂

Sounds entirely sensible so now frantically thinking how many embarrassing builds I've ridden! 😳
