tools! i love tools!

[gbsimpsa]

actually that's not a bad idea! i only have a basic raleigh one (truing jig that is) and it wobbles!!


good thinking batman!!

There's actually a pretty decent looking attempt on the following link, half way down.

Didn't a fellow Retro biker do a similar thing not so long back too?

ok, i'll check the diameter then if it's ok i'll cut it up then drop it to you at the Leith hill meet.

this poor beastie gets more attention in it's demise than it got when in one piece!

Ta muchly.

Is it too late to ask for my frame back...?

 

[jonnyboy666]

yep!

 

[drystonepaul]

At least it weighs less now.

Tie a bass string to the tube ends and you'll have made yourself a reverse Slingshot.

Jonnyboy's Slingshot replica project meets a premature end with the removal of the wrong tube

mallet for Piers Morgan's face....

Speaking of which, apparently Daily Telegraph columnist Celia Walden also loves tools, so much so that she married a complete and utter one....

so, the frame abuse continues!

the down tube has been cut out for Ted so he can have a crown race tool and the rest has been made into a wheel truing stand.

i already have a wheel truing stand but it's pretty basic and it wobbles which makes fine tuning quite difficult. after following that link i decided the rest of the frame could serve it's purpose as a (rear) wheel truing stand.

obviously it's pretty basic but it's better for no other reason than being rock solid!


sorry Paul
