Cheers bro. Took me ages drawing it on ms paint well enough for you to make a 3d file and print it

Update from my man Dan, The zeronine knurling was proving difficult to get clean on the underneath of the pedal so we are going with a two part strategy using acetone to chemically bond the two halfs together.

Interestingly the fine print lines can be smoothed out with a technique called fume polishing which not only give great results but may be useful with plastic part resto's like seats and pedals.

The pedals are a much finer print than this owl but you can see how effective it is

A spot of background reading reveals this fume polishing lark is a touch hazardous..... whats the worst that could happen!!!, we dont see too many seagulls in Manchester

Well it took a visit from the man himself but the pedals are finally here. Will get them bonded, fume polished and mount the spindle later this week

Gonna be cool this one Clint ....

3D printer shit .... It's the future!

Amazing stuff all the same mate

I knew the frame had seen plenty of freestyle action bitd but i hadnt really scrutinized it too closely until last night.

The freewheel side of the dropout has some heavy scoring

Both tubes under the rear standers will need some serious work

As will one of the dented and bent top tubes

And the seat mast

oldschoolace · « **Reply #49 on:** March 11, 2016, 09:16 PM »

My plan is to strip the chrome and fill the dents with silver solder once i have worked out the worse of them.
With that in mind i set about making a frame block

Frame blocks work by clamping them around the dented area, heavily greasing and rotating whilst slowly tightening the clamp to coax out the dent. Any dent in a tube will distort the area around it and often returning the area to a perfect circle can all but remove some dents

I dug out an offcut of ali and cut it into two equal pieces.

4 holes were drilled, countersunk and tapped to hold bolts and a hole the same diameter as the tube to be worked was drilled through each half of the paired block

I used a wood spade bit that i had ground down a little so it was just under the tube diameter.
Once the hole was drilled i could tidy it up and bore it out to the exact diameter with a littler drum sanding bit.

Perfecto
