DK SOB Restoration
« on: January 25, 2018, 04:50 PM »
Looking at doing a partial resto on this SOB  - returning the dropouts back to 10mm seems to be quite a straight forward repair on frames that have been attacked with the file in the past. But the left seat stay has a couple of dents, can they be repaired ?

If you're on Facebook, look for Leroy Maidment aka MOD BMX or Atomic Welding. He's also on Instagram as @leroy5710 or alternatively, get in touch with Entity BMX shop who can organise everything with Leroy for you. Leroy has and is my frame repair man and has worked magic on everything from dents, dropout reshaping/reforming and restoring back to 10mm, cracks and holes in seatstays from chain rub and he's just restored a seat post tube that had been chopped down a lot. There's nothing that he can not put right. He's a rider and welder/fabricator so his heart is in the job. Him and Entity are based in Poole near Bournemouth. You won't go wrong with his work and his prices.   :daumenhoch:

Ok so I might have cheated slightly in my SOB resto

I bought a much better frame off the bay with no need for welding work, the black one went to a good home were it will remain in its mid school crusty glory

I swapped over all the parts and rebuilt the wheels onto new rims, this is as near to the one i rode  bitd - supper smooth and not that heavy.
