ThePog Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 I am seriously thinking of changing the bike to be have a belt drive, it means making up custom dropouts so the belt can pass through the rear triangle, but that is not a biggie. http://www.carbondrivesystems.com/index.php?lang=us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePog Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Have bought a seriously OS lathe so I can lathe shit. Have started mitering the tubes together, tis fun edit: belt drive came in at 600 pingers, will pass for now although I may set up the frame for it anyways.

anglia4 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 mmmm lathe I think you will find we just became much better friends Holy shit! @ the belt drive cost. Could you make something up? Perhaps laser cut the toothed pulley profiles and sandwhich them between thin discs (to get the overlap at the edges so the belt can't come off sideways) EDIT: Or just spend some hours with an end mill and an indexing vice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 My skillz would not extend that far unfortunately, in fact if i can part shit off without removing my fingers I class that as a win. http://www.lathes.co.uk/grayson/ 1940 something muthafuks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 so sweet, what's involved in butting the tubes/buts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Lathe is sweet. Re the belt drive. John Brooks in town have many toothed belts and pulleys for industry. It might be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 The bike belt is pretty specific I think, I did quote the blingiest option though, might try with the less bling one and see how it pans out. so sweet, what's involved in butting the tubes/buts? Butting and mitering are different, this is the mitering; This is so the joint is strong as possible. I always thought the tubes were just squared off and the lugs did all the work but after reading my awesome 1980s amateur framebuilding book I got the rules. The butting is in the tubes themselves, it means the tube is thicker at the ends, in this case 0.9mm at the ends then after 100mm ish thins out to 0.6mm.

ThePog Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Also got this weird arse milling attachment with the lathe (along with one million other awesome things), might use it for something just on principal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePog Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Another diversion from framebuilding... my new Gazelle/tweed run bike, this has been a total cunt to even get vaguely to the rideable stage but hey; Those are 28" rims, the thing is fucking huge..

flyingbrick Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 man those handlebars are exactly what i'd like for one of my single speed projects.... You should flip them upside down to give it some race stance. Also, whats it do for brakes? coaster brake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, whats it do for brakes? coaster brake? Coaster at the moment, but it came with a 3 speed drum brake combo, and drum brake on the front too, it will get those too in a wee while. I had a pathracer, was too difficult to ride long distance, which is why I swapped it for the Gazelle...
