Re: The MTB thread
Hmmm cool project.
I have a TIG welder, I don't think I'm good enough to do a bike frame though...

Re: The MTB thread
The bars up front look a bit more manouverable

Re: The MTB thread
That's very cool... How much does one of those frames cost built?

Re: The MTB thread
Hmph.
That threadless bottom bracket has done as feared and backed out of itself. There's no chance of doing it up any tighter than what it was, and I've got lucky that there is only very slight flattening of the threads and a normal unit threads in OK.

 Even if I sold both of my conventional bikes, I would still not be able to buy one of them right now. Anyone want to make an offer on a custom touring bike and High speck mountain bike?

Re: The MTB thread
Need a crank n stuff.
There's brand new shimano deore stuff, hollowtech 2 for £55 including bottom bracket and everything I need. Some sort of splined drive this, any good? Or a mate of mine has some SR suntour stuff in square drive for £20. Worth scrap value or what? (I'd also need a bottom bracket at £15) And to muddy the water, has anyone used ISIS drive? Anyone know where and how much a half decent bottom bracket is for that?
