The QUICK question thread.....

[safreek]

Mega ding. Those bikes weren't too bad, a friend had one. If the price is low enough could be a good source of parts. Treat the frame as disposable.

The frame appealed the most.
Bloody filthy I wasn't in brissy the other day, m3 frame for 200

OK guys, thanks to binner I got a frame I liked the look of, to measure the shock length I need which part of the hole do I measure from, front or back. If anyone can id the frame feel free to do so. As you can see it has cable guides down both sides, old brake mounts as well as disc mounts

The down tube is very peculiar.

The down tube is very peculiar.

It is, eBike prototype downtube.

Do we know who makes this fine frame yet? Would come up great buffed up with some AutoSol and maybe a clear coat.

That's what made me need it, don't care if it is a crappy brand, would just like to know so I can get a hanger to suit. Anybody know if it's possible to get a custom hanger if I can't identify. It weighed in at 2.89 kg in the post office today

Don't crucify me but I am thinking of hydro dipping in a wading pool. Either skullz or my little pony decals

Hydrodip it with lots of tiny pink dicks!

Middle, and make sure the linkage isn't quite bottomed out when you measure.

You will also need to put a wheel in with the chunkiest tyre that will fit to measure the shortest shock length before it hits the seat tube. That will tell you the max shock stroke.

Put it in a bag and Swapit to moorey for the patriot frame, good idea

Cheers mate, that's what I need. You mean like a couple mm before bottoming out

At least !

How are you going to mount the shock? Simple bolt with nut through the holes, with spacers between the mounting plates to take out lateral movement, heaps of grease?

 

[Tubbsy]

Why did the seller have no information about the frame?

Leave space...plenty of space. You will need to account for flex.

Why did the seller have no information about the frame?

Because all the info they had came off with the paint stripper.

 

[Tubbsy]

More than paint stripper to get to that state imo

Hadn't really thought of that, probs just basic bolts, didn't realize I would need spacers, thought the shock eye bit would be fine.

Apparently the previous owner stole it, not really. No idea, think he was more of a skatey dude. It was advertised as unknown

He said he didn't do it, the main reason I want to know is so I can get a hanger

Not a drop of paint on it, looks like it has been polished at some stage.
Seems to have the vintage fellas stumped as well brand wise
