    New Ti frame for old trials bike.

    Just wanted to share an ongoing thread from a Trials site. My engineering abilities end at fixing the strings on a carrier bag but this has really caught my eye. Titanium welders and frame builders, enjoy.

    That's fucking cool, dude's a master machinist. Not sure I'd agree with the decision not to redesign the parts to better suit the process, but I can certainly appreciate the purist approach he took.

    If you like that sort of thing, and even find it a bit cathartic; I'd recommend clickspring on youtube. Not pushing the boundaries so much, just solid fabrication.

    Very nice work.

    Got to be a labour of love, though.

    Probably 3/2.5.
    Try SRD in Blenheim. Superb work.

    Wallace at Marshland engineering should be able to, pm Marsheng on here
