The garage frame building journey
- Thread starter sikocycles
- Start date
Here are a couple pics from the last month. Anybody make anything cool lately?
I made another hammer for a mechanic friend that I’ll see at the Les Gets WC this week.
.
Alex from Selwyn Bikes came over to bend some tubes for his first full suspension project.
Wet laps in Morgins on the steel Frameworks with my wife
Started a new frame. My brother has been asking for a longer one.
Making some offset shock hardware
New bike on top of the Mosette lift in Les Crosets. All the lifts are open in the Portes du Soleil and Les Gets WC is this weekend. Yeah!
My favorite one in Champery on the WC track. EU DH Champs are the 11th of August.

These are the frames Alex from Selwyn bikes made (The guy who used my tube bender in the above photo). One has a steel rear end and the other an alu rear end.
Selwyn Bicycles on Instagram: "Double vision Prototype number 2 is ready What is going to work best? Steel/steel or steel/aluminium? Adam @prosisemetalworks has absolutely smashed it on the aluminium rear end. Testing continues #madebyhand #customsteelmtb #steelisrealmtb #aluminiumisalsoreal #madeinsamoens #artisancadreur"

And here’s mine that I recently finished. Longer 445/460cm chain stays and steeper seat angle this time.
Burf from BTR came over this summer on his Gasser. Such a cool bike!
And another buddy borrowed my welder to reinforce his rocker pivot. It‘s pretty cool how you can repair or modify steel bikes so easily!
I made this welding arm to better position the frame to be more comfortable when welding. I added another axis of rotation to it after these photos.
More pics of tacking and fabricating the last frame.
