haha well i like the thread! iv never found anything else like it on the interwebz. all the plate stuff is waterjet cut mate...the grinder still get a say in all the miters and chamfers but i try to keep all the plate work for to the computers as much as i can to save my sanity.

If I decide to build my first frame out of 6061 and choose not to heat treat it, should I have a deposit down on a casket?

Holy moly that head angle is slack! :O

Posted: Sep 1, 2015 at 8:25 Quote
whats with head angles these days? iv played with everything down to 58 degrees, and i find anything less than 64.5 just sort of flops and wanders even at high speed...kills yr turning ability!

but other than that, nice detail on those frame...where's you get those laser etched gussets? nice frames too- good, simple, classic lines and nice stays/dropouts- cant really do better than that! now just work on yr welds haha Wink
