Seby thats just spooky in as much as its almost identical to the one I'm making at the moment, I'm using alloy and not Ti as it is much cheaper for my prototyping.

yes it is true as well lighter

[Diego]

I like it. Gives it the streetfighter look.

I think we may be talking shortly Rob.

Any time mate....:idea:

do you know what is the weight saved?

[slob]

...and will it be strong enough to carry my somewhat lardy 13st self?

[seby]

i think you need to calculate by software the right diameter size of the alloy, and the stress on it,
instead if you use titanium u don't need big diameter one

[skank]

that is sick! gives it a very forward, brutish stance. :D

[Kato]

Yeh been through all of that and I might well look at Ti when happy with the prototype only problem I have is that I have never welded Ti so would have to get someone else to do that.

Not sure on the weight saving yet hadn't thought about it, unless it was me you were thinking of and in that case I am exactly 13.5 lbs lighter than this time last month, fairly substantial decrease with out major engineering.....:chuckle:

crikey Rob, did you take Picolax?
