2 recent ebay purchases of mine. Early days, but the sharper among you who GAS may see what I am up to!

BTW can I get a 130mm BCD spider for that XT chainset?

Update to follow…

an accident waiting to happen?

Old Marin + box section…… Are you building a orange 5 replica on the cheap?

Full Suss SS 650b?

Is it that K9 off of Dr Who?

One of these?

fat marin?

Burying the marin in a steel coffin so it can never be seen by human eyes again. I reckon you deserve the Noble Prize Sir.

mikewsmith’s beaten me to it – he already has one of those IIRC, so presumably this will be Mk 2?

Some kind of bike driven wood saw? A mess? 😉

A disappointing lack of cutlery so far too!

Bike and a box so
1. Cargo bike
2. Folding bike to fit in box

More clues needed tbh

Check out the scale of that box by comparing with the wood grain, JY

Well done guys, it will be a mk2 of what Scotland’s most eminent frame builder called “that piece of shit fat bike” – less shit in being stiffer, lighter and adaptable to std 26″ and 26 x 4″ wheels.

Mk 1 below.

Are you making a new gate for the fence over the road?

Almost certain it’s a no on the larger spider, though given it’s 5 arms is it standard (110 BCD) or compact (94 BCD) – if the former, which is what it looks like, then larger chainrings are readily available.

😳

I really think you should have done an Orange. Surely an old Patriot or 5 could be picked up for little money.
A super-wide box section swing arm would look awesome.

brakes – I got the frame for £60…I doubt any fan-boi favouritescan be had for that!

aracer – it’s compact, it’s no biggie as I have another way of resolving that issue.

Are you lengthening the wheelbase this time Al?

I stand by my words….

druidh – yes, you have to to get the tyre in at full travel. The new frame is (by accident) a better choice…it’s 140mm travel which will go to nearly 150mm, which I will use with a 150mm fork and regular 26″ tyres, then a different shock and mounting plate to get 110mm travel and BB at around the same height with 4″ tyres.

Shand – you think I was referring to you? 😛

Needs more…
