Legs? Pretty sure the Lugs are Ti though.

Still looks stupid, if you can't ride a bike hard, whats the point?

I'm sure it's plenty strong.... Stronger than the quill stems you and I have been pounding for years.... Although I doubt that bike actually sees much use.

I bet those lugs still need a ton of final shaping and finishing. 3D printing, while precise, doesn't produce the greatest surfaces cosmetically. And remember... Even if a machine made them, somebody still had to design them. Just cause they aren't made by some old guy huddling in a shed with a file and some emory cloth (from castings, by a machine! Gasp!) doesn't make them any less legit.

This is actually quite wrong.

If paint needs to be sanded smooth, so does a 3D printed surface. I'm not saying it comes out horribly or anything, just don't expect a mirror polish....


Also, you probably can ride that bike hard.

How DO you make lugs from scratch? I've always had a killer idea for a set of lugs but no idea on how to make em up.

You don't, you buy them and file them to the shape you want- Or at least, that's how most custom guys do it.

Hes going to get another stem with less drop so he can mount the bars in the same angle as the stem.

Heres one of his other bikes!

Sadly I'm selling my GT Track Bike... it's a 1999 with the coveted triple triangle if anyone wants to scoop it up...
size 53cm... Obviously you will have to PM me as we can't sell via the forums.
