Dunkers big bad build thread

and you are spoiled for choice my friend.

Remember artistic endevour is also a major factor, if like me, your starting with a steel frame

I do like the idea the frame he got form me in at the last Dunkeld meet will be ridden at this one.

I might pop down for those forks when the snow has gone Rob, or are you going to edinburgh on saturday for the bar lunch?

and your not rob

Mikee, can you weigh the A/stars as its closest to the CB I'll no doubt be waiting a wee while for. Thus it gives me a rough idea what I'm dealing with

I'm aiming for a sub 25Ib bike which for me would be a milestone. If i can do it without drilling anything then all the better but my budgets teeny so 32/36 spoke rims will be used :roll: An undished rear wheel with 2 cross DB spokes may help though

 

[mikee]

i'll try and do it later this week mate, think in the 4lb region

I think I can smell the burning alloy from here.

What weight do folks think they might manage, I would be happy with 22lbs.

 

[mikee]

i'd be happy with 16lbs

I reckon this will be an ongoing project for me. Keep getting lighter as cheap as possible. Got a set of levers this morning of ebay, brand new £4.97 and 150grams .
