Project Skoglemen - Part 1

And so it begins.....

Design completed.

Dropout sent for laser cutting from EN50B steel (OK for truck chassis so OK for a bicycle) by my friends at www.heskinfabs.co.uk

Very soon the tubes will be ordered at www.ceeway.com (when they s l o w l y reply with the price)

And I have found people to help me cheat and bend the tubes (I wanted to shape them myself but would need £900 of equipment!) www.taylorbends.co.uk

Columbus tubing. Chromoly rear triangle, butted top and down tubes.

Chainstay length 15.8" - 16.5".

But I need to throw it down steeeeep Italian descents, so to stop it becoming short wheelbase twitchy jey bike of death - Head angle 70 degrees, fork rake 55mm.

Part 2 coming soon.....
