Bottom bracket lined up for marking.
I then routed out inside the markings to allow the plate sections to neatly sit between the two halfs of the frame. I also cut some slightly deepersections in the center of each plate to allow some extra epoxy to create a plug. The plate will have some holes drilled in it eventually to allow the epoxy to bond though.
Botton bracket fitted.
Head tube fitted.
At the mement the pieces are fairly loose fitting because of my relative inexperience in this type of building. I think that the epoxy resin will help me out here.
The next few steps are fiddly and there will be no aparent progress, as in new parts. Its just bonding, and tweaking to get the rear stays to fit. Rear drop out parts are in the post, and will heavily influence how the back end of the bike turns out.
Really nice work and plywood is perfect choice for frame. I finished my own lowrider just about a month ago. Some pictures of building it and "ready" bike:

I had some problems with loose fittings between metal and wooden parts. They just cracked open. But I didn't have those "fitting fins", just the tubes. I solved the problem by buying exactly right size drills.
Good luck with the project. I'll be waiting to see ready bike.
Today metals building are very comfortable and easy to making building idea .Metals building is also portable building plan we can use and change any time according to plan. Use of these buildings will be helpful in conservation of plants and thereby curbing global warming.
ReplyDeleteFurther, the Steel Building and Metal Buildings have become very popular. The main reason for their popularity is that they are strong and durable as well as cost effective
