@Hannah Dobson didn’t realise the esoteric was your thing.

My brother in law has seriously weird bike collection. He kept us going through lock down one posting videos of himself riding them .

I hope this link will show a section

I've built a frame with long head tube.
I've built an e-stay.
I've built twin tubes.
I've not yet combined them all in one bike....

But it is a good way of internal routing.

@mick_r see you in may.

One day I’d love to make a frame. Bit more keen note I know that I want saved can’t find it. But I think I’ll need the support of one of those holiday camp deals

@ampthill I like things that are different! I also like things that are hand made, especially if there’s a bit of making do and figuring out rather than just buying all the perfect constituent parts. That BMX triplet is great!

@mick_r nice! My Stooge has a twin top tube, but not internal routing.

Forgot to follow this up a couple of days ago.
It went for the £50, way too cheap. I'd have definitely had a cheeky bid if I lived nearer London or they offered shipping.
