Dave Yates 853 Custom Build :)

[highlandsflyer]

It is fantastic to get an insight into this, something I really appreciate this site for. I wonder if De Kerf would find that kind of information useful too.

Quick Andy, call Dave and tell him that some bloke on the internet says he's doing it wrong!

Come on, which gauge of 853 tubing (there are loads to choose from)? Standard and not ProTeam ?
and I have to say there is something nice about having a mixed tubing frame, rather than plain vanilla i'll just take all of it.

So Columbus is tagging Reynolds at the rear ?

these don't need gussets or the DZB tubing ?




DZB gracefully pinched from Reynolds website in an attempt to show knowledge.

Loads to choose from also pinched from here, oh and the ProTeam..

My Proteam 853 Pace is tig + brazed.

When I spoke to 18 bikes about an 853 fillt brazed custom frame they suggested doing it as above.

Not sure what I am adding or trying to add

Looking forward to updates.

The rear end tubing could be Columbus life?

Enigma make a lovely steel ht out of it and stupidly light it is:

Looking forward to seeing this in the steel when you get it. What paint have you gone for bud?

Hope your recovery is still going ok

Recovery is going OK, ta. A few twinges now & again which remind me to slow down a bit, but things look good

Paint.... That's for me to know & you lot to find out later

Speaking of steel, I have the tubing info

Reynolds 853 Down tube: 31.75mm outer diameter, butted 0.8/0.5/0.8mm
Reynolds 853 Top tube: 28.6mm outer diameter, butted 0.75/0.45/0.75mm
Reynolds 853 Seat tube 28.6mm outer diameter, butted 0.9/0.6/1.2 bulge (presumably at the top!)
Reynolds 525 Head tube: 32.5mm outer diameter, 1.25mm thick with ring reinforced top & bottom
Reynolds 525 Seat stay: 16mm outer diameter, 0.7mm, double taper
Columbus Zona Oval chainstays

The 853 is standard 853, not Proteam

Keeping a little something back to keep us in suspense eh?

Okay, I'm here now, you can crack on with it now please

Feels slightly wrong to be excited about another man's build, but...
