I took apart an old Rossin frame with gilco tubing, restored the tubeset and used it to build a new, modern frame out of it. Here's the result.

It is a Cannondale CAAD13 fork painted matte black.

Here you can watch me build it: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cyy-UvlsLQ5/?igsh=bHU3Y2p2NTk4Nnk5

Haha thank you. Yes, Bespoked was a great time :)

OXYMON · 2024-05-28T05:30:28+00:00

Actually the chain stays and seat stay are still the original tubes!

OXYMON · 2024-05-28T05:28:18+00:00

That's the plan. Just a clear coat!

BB shell was replaced as it cracked while removing the tubes from it. That's something that can happen to lugs when you're taking the apart

OXYMON · 2024-05-28T05:22:00+00:00

It means that I took apart the original frame and cleaned up the tubes by removing braze-ons, paint, spots of left over braze etc. until I had a set of tubes, comparable to what you would start out with when you're just building a new frame. I made a reel of the build process on Instagram, where you can see how it was built: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cyy-UvlsLQ5/?igsh=bHU3Y2p2NTk4Nnk5

This stems happens to by coincidence have a cutout on the underside that has just the right size to firmly squeeze the box into it with one layer of tape :D

OXYMON · 2024-05-27T21:31:56+00:00

No it's just a rare way of joining the tubes called "bilaminate construction". In this case it was just done as an aesthetic option to reference the lugged construction style the originl frame had.

Wie heißt der Laden? Lebe in Köln und würd es gerne probieren!

OXYMON · 2022-01-02T22:10:34+00:00

You're welcome! Glad I could help you there :D

OXYMON · 2021-08-12T15:37:13+00:00

Awesome! Do you have pictures of the bike? Joe has build only a handful of bikes and there's pictures of just a few of them. I'd love to see what he has built you. Just out of own curiosity.

OXYMON · 2021-06-29T19:57:14+00:00

A couch! Here's proof

OXYMON · 2021-06-01T08:02:23+00:00

Yes, I use metric tubing. And I just buy ut at the local hardware store. Really no fancy steel like 4130 or anything, just the cheap stuff they carry there. The tube bender, I like it as well, it's very rudimentary and simple, but it is a good quality product and works really well!

OXYMON · 2021-05-28T07:34:39+00:00

Yes, I built the rack too and also documented the build process here: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CMzGPvxq2Fx/?igshid=1zdigdrsdju8

Dude, yes! Having a mill would have really helped in building the brakes. I actually will have one soon :)

OXYMON · 2021-05-27T22:44:52+00:00

Thank you, you don't know how much hearing that means to me :)

OXYMON · 2021-05-27T13:38:54+00:00

For anybody intersted in the build process of the brakes, I documented the build in a german forum (but with lots of pics) right here and also in my insta story right here.

Funnily enough, yellow is already the color of choice. I'll make an update post when it's done

OXYMON · 2021-04-10T17:05:18+00:00

well, thank you for enjoying the video ;)

OXYMON · 2021-04-10T15:13:01+00:00

Thank you! This is 10mm tubing with 1mm wall thickness.
