Loving this build, haven’t been on DTT for a while, this build is really coming along. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Well after being stuck overseas for months I finally got some shed time. I decided to tackle the 1 and only oil leak that has been a bug bear for too long… the tacho delete Meet the tacho delete, after making it up, I went to a radiator joint and they welded it up for me. Finally the...

It’s a difficult one as you don’t want to cut out any of the supporting pieces. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Excellent question, I’m going to try and thread it behind the frame, but I can see it’s going to be a mission. My plan will be to get everything else’s sorted then ride it to the brake place and have them make it on the bike so it ticks in nicely. Either that or it’s back to the drawing...

congrats Trek, beautiful build

Well I had a small win today, I designed the small bracket that will hold the rear brake master cylinder to the rearset brackets. For a while there I was pulling out what little hair I have when the program refused to let me select parts of my design to extrude into a 3D image... word to...

A few YouTube tutorials later and we made a cut, granted we broke the bit within the first 30 seconds, but after some conservative tool setting recalibration and the second attempt was successful. The next project will be to make the rear brake master cylinder mounting bracket. Start small...

I know and I totally missed it, she came up beautifully too. I was stuck working in Egypt for the last 3 months and got out of touch with the real world for a while, the closest i got to bikes was this little bad boy I use to pass on the way to work My brother has come up with some logo...

I saw those they came out really well, I’m just going through the tutorials for the design software and I’ll have a play today. Hopefully we have something tangible in the coming weeks Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON
