Here is my frame i’m making, nearly finished.
Just got to clean up some brazing, and double check everything,
re-tap the BB etc.
Columbus SL
58cm square
I dont think I took any pics of it until this stage unfortunately.
Not sure what to do paint wise etc yet?
Enjoy,
Looks good, Id double triple check for proper adhesion, those joints look way overcooked
Great work Goose. Did Brett have the geo for this design already or did you have to design it up from scratch?
yeah, I had to put new chainstays in, wanted tight clearences - and I got them too tight by cutting chainstays too short.
had to cook them back out, and new ones in again.
no everything is drawn up, design your own, but this one I done pretty much on the back of an envelope.
Love it, Nice clearances and those straight forks are hot:)
anything fluoro!
ps, noiiicce
Hey man, with paint, what I was thinking by way of ‘artsy fartsy bogan style’, was to paint it white, lay it on the ground, chuck a can of spray paint, fully shaken, between the main triangle, then take shots at the can with a nail gun.
Do this with loads of different colours, apply your decal to the side, then whack on a clear coat.
What about loading your own 410 shot gun cartridges with 1/2 the powder & fluro paint. Hang the bike off the Hills hoist & paint-shoot it. Less likely to get a nail through the tubing. Or maybe a mini-potato gun & compressed air. Less likely to have the cops around I guess.

Looking nice goose.
That collection is growing quickly.
tangerine, man…
no paint, just an expensive clear coat.
EDIT: or go get it chromed…
Just copy your favorite Land Shark paint job.

For the paint I was thinking something along the lines of a Visp. Since it is triple triangle and all:)

But seriously, Paint should be decided when you have parts planned. So they compliment each other. kinda like ying and yang?
yeah yingyang brown, man…
Chrome with a cherry red candy coat, but leave the rear chrome.
Or crazy metal flake silver base with a cherry red candy coat.
Clear it as is, then add glitter… Then more clear.
This, or like The Jams’ fluoro dayglo abortion.
