A mate of mine sent me two pics yesterday of a bike frame he made out of stainless steel...
He fooled me into thinking it was the real deal, he then sent me a pic of it next to a one penny!
I told him it was bloody brilliant and just wanted to share with fellow STWers.
If any of you are interested he is willing to make them to order.
Not sure of a price yet, but thinking about £20.
These will make great jewellery for a charm bracelet or on a chain.
Made from high quality stainless steel.
I will take some better pics and post on here, and the frame in the pics is a proto type, so will get the head tube angle sorted and get a little 'hoop' to accommodate a chain or bracelet.
Let me know if you are interested.

out of date geometry, no disk mounts, no seatstay bridge, non-tapered steerer, and a Q factor to give any midget the banjo-legs. Mleh. 4/10
At least it looks like it has removable drop outs for a bonus.
[i]will get the head tube angle sorted[/i]
it'll male all the difference to how it rides.
Stoner and wwaswas, I will show him this pic as guidance to adjust geometry issues 🙂

Would your mate take a commission? Got some ideas for jewellery I'd like making.
Any chance of contact details?

Alex, I will send you his contact details. He is not a jeweller though, but a very good dental technician! He has made some nice crucifixes and such from chromed steel on commission from an Italian lady before, and the the frame above he made 'whilst messing about' with a laser welder!
Cheers, I already want something made with a laser welder 🙂
I should mention that the item I'm after is this

Will that be OK, don't want to cause offence?
Cheers,

Those new pennies are bigger than I expected.
You should give him a loan of a Mint Sauce keyring and start from there...
EDIT: great work though
Have you got a Mint Sauce key ring I could borrow..?
Once the head angle and the seat and chainstay are sort i wouldn't mind getting one for £15.
Mrs Vader just said...."Awwwww... Diddy!"....
It needs a mini "Reynolds 9.53" sticker, disc mounts and not v-bosses!
The space between the top and down tube make it look like a very very small large 🙂
