It needs some tidying of paint and a rub down with wirewool...my drive needs sweeping, garage doors painting, cat needs feeding and grass growing...sod it, it puts a smile on my face!

Yet I tell my wife that I’m not green fingered...growing trees in concrete has to be some sort of talent! Haha

You went to the effort of brazing all that into it, and then you’ve left vertical dropouts on it with a singlespeed ratio that gives way too much slack? I can’t help thinking you’ve got your priorities wrong there 🙂

Haha Bez...SS won’t be the full time fit so wanted the mech hanger and original drop outs...plus oval chainring made chain length a bit fiddly. Left the tensioner off for now to see how it rides

Nice work!

What have you brazed on to the drive side seat stay?

Another cable guide for when I run full length gear cable outer. Couple of bolt bosses brazed on to the underside of the top tube for bolt on cable guides 👍🏻

Perhaps not clear but the metal work sadly isn’t my handy work but a local frame builder. Building a frame is hopefully coming next year!

I know it's a big frame, but that seems harsh.

Also, needs more spoon.

Haha...spoon chain tensioner would be a fine addition...maybe one of Brant’s Ti spoons will do the job!
