non fixie, thanks for the photo of the cool frame! keeps me inspired

Raliegh Sport, can't wait either....lie....I got sidelined on a '49 Maclean build that is advancing from a fixed gear to a SA FW with a Cyclo 2 speed gear.....more on that soon.

Mark Kelly, need links or photo's of what you are talking about. The plan was to use light standing rigging built up by a local sail loft, multi strand with SS turnbuckles. I'm under the impression Tensegrity structures require the wires to terminate at each end of the beams creating compression on the structure, not sure how tensile strenght plays into the this but as a complete newb, I'm all ears and eyes. Show me what you are talking about.

Italuminum, Progress? Yep, still recovering from a hurricane, had over 6 feet of tidal water run through my shop area. Good reason to go out an buy new sharp files. I'll have my work area together again in a week or so and the first project is to cut the brazing bits to attach the wires then the frame is back to Steve Willis to finish up the brazing work....well that's my plan.
