3rd time lucky!

finally found a painter and general sound fella that i can rely on, mark at hutchcoat did an amazing job on the new frames. he's pretty much up for doing anything paint wise which is sweet for me and for anyone wanting a frame making with a fancy paint job. he should also have a new site up pretty soon with some up to date work on show!

the frame sets are now for sale! the new frames are made with a reynolds 631 front triangle with reynolds 725 stays, they are a considerable amount lighter than my previous frames and have a happy medium on the angles. all frames come with a seat binder bolt, with headtube reamed and faced and bottom bracket tap ran through the shell one more time after being painted. i can also supply and fit the bottom bracket and headset of your choice for just the price of the parts with no added charge for labour. email me if your interested!

detail shots over on my flickr.

painted fillets

hufnagel style stay caps, i just better do them justice. this cap started off as an off-cut of reynolds 725 chainstay, split and shaped.
