nothing we can share yet!

Late reply but the issues with UCI acceptance / non acceptance almost warrants some open class, anything goes, racing.

:D

Wow:


Nice!

Nice little video of your work and history in the industry FTWelder! :thumb:

Frank, where are yooooouuu...?

Tell us about your new track frame!

I emailed Frank. Hopefully he replies back here with some info. It's been a long time since I have been this excited about someone making a bike.

bike frame builders are so awesome at getting wide/flat aluminum beads on what I'd guess is pretty thin material. wish that would transfer to the racing community, car dudes aluminum welding is boring.

Hi!~ how are you guys? Thanks for the kind words! I filled the requests I got for two frames and in the mean time the company that drew the tubes closed it's doors. In addition, 2.5" diameter .065" wall tube seems not to be available. I have a seat tube and a down tube and may be dropouts left.

I like this one made from the outtakes. I don't have to look at myself talking LOL.

.050/.058/.065 wall for these welds

Those welds are smooth like butter.

Do you think you might be able to find another supplier and make these on a regular basis? I've already commissioned a frame for this season. But maybe next year...

shoooooooot

You can find a lot of Frank's work on flickr, his blog, and facebook. His abilities as a craftsman truly transcend the art of framebuilding. He machines his own dies to form and shape tubes, repairs old arabic flintlock musket parts, makes custom parts for motorcycles,...

Perfect mix of art, genius, and skill.
