Could you Pm me with some info about these guys. I may have a business proposition for them.buildyourown said:Spitfire: Nice work. That came out looking pretty good. Mine is still in the works.
A little OT, but I took a tour of a shop today that does lots of hydroforming and bulge forming of Ti sheet. The foreman was saying that a couple of the guys have made bikes. They did some Ti oil pans for drag racers and Ti exhaust manifolds.
Imagine a Ti monoque frame....They had the technology. They also had weldors doing Ti joints that make a Merlin look like it was done by a 12 year old in China.
No dude - That was the one I had. It's V3 #1, making it Draco frame #6 or somthing. I think theres 14 total right now. Maybe 17 now considering what's gone down in the last week.lovebunny said:oh by the way. that draco. theres less than 20 of them. i think mines the 14th or something like that
I'm not sure what that means (it's white?), but thanks I guess.what kind of frame is that mate as its a cracker
yeah but they are common as a really common thing over here.ChainWhip said:Middleburns aren't too terribly common in the states yet... (and no, just because monkeys pimp 'em doesn't mean they're not rare).

reported as being the spongiest brake in the world ever! although i wonder how much cable stretch did to help that.....Or even the Shimano Drum brake that had all those cooling fins on them. I remember reading that was insainly expensive to build. Stick probably has insite on those, i think Lopes ran them.
wow i stared at that and was wondering where the shock was.....jet said:I own this baby.
Used to be Lisa Sher's. Geoff Scofield had the other one. This is prolly the only one left
I took it into Kaibab bikes in Moab and they were bouncing on it going 'How much travel does this have?'DHS said:wow i stared at that and was wondering where the shock was.....
i'd still ride that.
They are rare here in the US.scottishmark said:yeah but they are common as a really common thing over here.
wow, never saw that thing. Wonder why Devinci never made something of it...perhaps too close to their Balfa neighbours?dropthebreak said:
They bought the rights off of balfa if im not mistaken.zedro said:wow, never saw that thing. Wonder why Devinci never made something of it...perhaps too close to their Balfa neighbours?
wow, sickness. does the chain run from the cranks up the other side? bonus points for the ultra rare shimano airlines toodropthebreak said:
sure does. its a typical jackshaft, only the swingarm dont pivot around the driveshaft.The Kadvang said:wow, sickness. does the chain run from the cranks up the other side? bonus points for the ultra rare shimano airlines too
what rights? Balfa doesnt hold any patentsdropthebreak said:They bought the rights off of balfa if im not mistaken.
couldn't tell you as i dont know the exact details.zedro said:what rights? Balfa doesnt hold any patents
well i think Devinci has used other manufacturers frames in the past to race on (ie. brand tagging). But anyone can use their basic designs.dropthebreak said:couldn't tell you as i dont know the exact details.
