Thanks. Do you have a build thread for your t500?BicycleBobe said:This is one of my favorite builds right now not just because I have the same bike but because it's awesome. That was the easiest way to sum it up without listing... I'm excited to see more
The green circles are cross tubes. I know you're right about the seat tube angle, I may have a solution to combine both angles which I will work on. I am glad see that there is interest in this project and welcome all ideas and suggestions. I would love to build a frame from scratch and that was my original plan but I can't justify the cost of a good tube bender, TIG welder and milling machine!50gary said:John, again right on the money. I would guess the two green circles are cross tubes? I would use the point of the lower cross tube as the junction for what would be a 70' angle seat tube. It might not look as racy as your narrow angle tube in your drawing but I feel it would be stronger and naturally tie into the overall frame plan. You also mention you seat, that may be part of the reason for the shallow seat tube placement? Your mass centralization and overall weight are going to be greatly improved to say the least with this new layout, excellent.
When I get to this point in a build I think "why didn't I just build a new frame from scratch?"
Cheers, 50gary
I do not really doing a lot with it right now, getting the BMW back into commission first. My best friend ran it into the back of my neighbors car...johnu said:Thanks. Do you have a build thread for your t500?
