This project was born out of my passion for machining and making things.
The end goal was to learn a bit about frame building and to give my Niece a one off balance bike.
This took quite some time to complete as it was mostly done after work, utilising the access I have to lathes and a mill (on the rare occasions when life didn't get in the way).
Overall I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I learnt a few things along the way that I would do differently if I ever did something like this again.
