Brodie Mantis Replica

[Dr Dremel]

Re colour: Last year I had the chance to see this beauty with my own eyes (ex- Mombat):



This does not have the sculptured fillets but I found the colour to be sublime.

Wow hadn’t checked in here in a while and what a cool project to read about Roy!
I vote you cut down the Brodie biplane being it’s the perfect bike for it, then everything is built by the same person too! And the only reason you get that steerer long is so it can be made to work with any frame when the one comes along! Once you cut it you’ll never think twice! Haha

paul spent 11.5 hours on the frame.

no comments on what to do about brakes and cranks?
deerhead cantis vs mafac.
deerhead cranks vs T.A.

keep it all deerhead or mix it up a bit.
