has anyone ever handbuilt their own custom frame?
i have hundreds of linkage designs that i have thought up on my own and i want to actually go out and build one.
is it hard to do any of this?
i doubt i will have many problems due to the fact that i will be building with a friend of mine who handbuilds Baja trophy trucks in his shop... but i was wondering if there are any other major things to consider other than measurements of the Head tube and BB shell.
oh yeah, is it possible to weld chromoly to solid aluminum??? is there some kind of difference in the welding of each metal? i want a chromoly frame but at the same time, i want to have a solid 2 peice aluminum BB block with a triple walled chromoly BB shell (for many reasons).
we have a CNC machine, chromoly tubing, solid aluminum blocks, and everything we need to build it, i just want to troubleshoot first.
thanks
