Measure twice and cut once


Well, I knew I once will be facing this but didn't expect it'll be this one. Better at the very beginning so I can avoid wrong steps in the future. That's the framebuilding about. I'm laughing anyways! Since I do more and more about steelwork particular the framebuilding I realize how perhaps "naive" I was. There's so much to know, so much to understand and learn that call oneself a framebuilder it's rather a joke!! Especialy when jumped on it in recent time. It takes years and dozens of frames done to say: hell yes, I got it now!

Pitty for a person who it was supposed for.. Not pitty for my work or this set od pipes and lugs. After I've put in the chainstays I realized there's smth wrong as the rear wheel goes off the center line. Couldn't have figured it out but then found that the bottom bracket wasn't put in properly and it's not centered. I've tried to straighten it but the down tube cracked along the bb lug. Every millimeter and and angle counts! I'll finish it and give it to someone for hard street use.
Measure twice adn cut once! This simply applies on daily basis..

  1. Tak škoda ho, mal to byť custom rám. Niekedy dá človek do toho všetko a výsledok nie je práve najlepší.
    Umenie je poučiť sa a ísť ďalej.
