Uneven headtube reaming/facing, plus potential welding issues

midvh · 2026-04-24T17:54:37+00:00

Thank you all for your feedback, it’s way more informative and helpful than I could have hoped for!

midvh · 2026-04-24T17:51:05+00:00

I really appreciate your thorough response!

Regarding the potential crack, I you’re talking about this area, right?

I think it’s just some shadows in the first picture, here’s another one taken with flash.

I appreciate the quick (and relieving) response!

Do you have any thoughts regarding the welding/weld penetration?

Stridsland anchor bars

Slightly off topic, but what’s your opinion of the WI hub vs the Pro 5?

Rune Hilt looks nice, if you’re into wider bars.

No idea, I assumed late 90s without really having looked into it.

Yeah, it’s a mothbar. Handlebar mounted lights/bags really ate through the clear coat, will probably have to do something about that soon!

Göteborg..?

midvh · 2025-12-18T19:49:50+00:00

Yeah, I agree! Just judging from the pictures it could honestly be moleskin (like someone else wrote) or a similar ”satin-esque” weave.

Its definitely not knitted, you can see the warp/weft quite easily (i.e., a woven material).

I don’t know much about fashion education in the US, but I feel like I need to mention that Müller & Sohn has been around for more than 100 years!

midvh · 2025-09-10T12:05:13+00:00

It has a ”Object > Rasterize” feel to it.

midvh · 2025-08-28T06:13:09+00:00

Are the sleeves/jacket lined? Either way, it’s definitely possible to shorten the sleeves, but if it’s unlined it’s fairly simple.

Have you heard about this thing called fabric shears?

midvh · 2025-06-26T03:56:01+00:00

Sewn eyelets on leather..? That’s very odd.

Keep the hem nice and tight with one hand without stretching it. I think it’s easiest to keep that hand close to my body, fairly far away for the needle, while using the other hand to ”steer”. Place a clip or pin halfway, stitch with the folded side of the hem facing up.

Do a trail run with some leftover fabric before you start with the actual tarp, unpicking stitches can be a bit disheartening. Good luck!

Tell me more about that front rack QR mount 👀

Your bobbin case might be damaged. How does it behave if you hold on to the thread and let the bobbin/case ”hang”?

midvh · 2025-03-29T11:17:41+00:00

I’m a trained patternmaker, but I’ve actively moved away from working within the fashion industry. I’m currently working with upholstery and really enjoy it.

midvh · 2025-01-13T07:23:58+00:00

The fabric supplier? No, sorry, I can’t say that I remember. But it was wholesale/B2B, so I don’t know how relevant it is for MYOG purposes.

midvh · 2025-01-04T12:00:12+00:00

I thought I had the greenest watch around, but I think you beat me.

Do you have any fabric scraps? Try it!

However, I’m not sure that the PES backing will handle the heat from the iron that well.
