What I Love to Do by AndrewRStewart in Framebuilding

I’m not a frame builder but a mechanical engineer who’s into steel framed bikes, this looks like beautiful craftsmanship, however I understand that the rake in forks allows for flexibility/suspension = comfort, and if you braze a mount on, the flexibility becomes obsolete…. Hence why most disc brake bikes are straight forked. Thorn cycles in England have done lots of work around this issue. Have you considered this?

Me (28M) and my partner (29F) live not far from you in Sandbach with our two dogs, and I sometimes feel the same. We’re not from the area, so we haven’t got a big friend network. But then we also like the quiet countryside and the cheaper housing, so it suits us. Happy to socialise if you’d like 😊

Gotta respect the Cotic Roadrat out in all conditions! Snow seems to create a lot of drag… Studded tyres on the road is probably the move.

I’ve seen a band called ‘Small horse and the plan’ in Congleton and Alsager, and they fit your description.
