how did you get a threaded bb in this ? i am thinking of just going it the easy way and putting a mid bb so the bearings are just pressed in the frame with a middle spacer.

used an old BB shell and headtube. saves alot of machine work.

Is that a FireEye front triangle? Or something else, or have you made it all from scratch? Looks pretty good, especially considering it's A Level coursework tup

looks sick dude, hard to singlespeed a non bb pivot without a really good chain tesioner though

Charge262 (May 26, 2010 at 10:59)

Charge262 (Jul 16, 2010 at 11:07)

i did indeed.

kieren (Jul 16, 2010 at 11:08)

Charge262 (Jul 16, 2010 at 11:09)

front triangle is cromo, rear is steel.

how do u weld cromo ? i am looking to make myself a dj frame but i am 1not shaw where to get the metal and i only have a mig and a tig welder will that do >?

Charge262 (Jul 16, 2010 at 11:13)

i used an oxy-acetelene welder, not ideal. a tig welder is much better suited. metal can be sourced from plenty of places, check the internet or yellow pages.
