Tue May 21, 2013 10:38 pm
I was into 4wd for quite a while, so short wheelbase landcruisers, jacked up pick ups etc. had a bettel with a baja kit on it, 31 inch rear tires and a subaru motor int the back, that was good fun.. Had a six cylinder cortina for a while, v8 ford falcon and the last one was a '65 xp falcon that Heidi and I did up over the corse of a year, pic is in my Loco Joker build thread, no other pics I am afraid, lost alot of stuff when moving...

Tue May 21, 2013 10:30 pm
early 80's made by a GM off shoot were way cool but had first generation problems helped to develop carbon fiber frames etc. jats

No, dont remember them, they probably came out while I was doing the car stuff, before I came back to bikes... LukeTheJoker
Tue May 21, 2013 10:28 pm
sweet you remember the first hybrid carbon/ steel frames they were called graftec jats
Tue May 21, 2013 10:27 pm
Doubt it will though, so probably paint them black, let the frame shine... LukeTheJoker
Tue May 21, 2013 10:27 pm
I am thinking of brass plated steel components, if the budget stretches far enough... LukeTheJoker

Tue May 21, 2013 10:20 pm
Does not have to be ply, just like the look of it in a sandwich... LukeTheJoker
Tue May 21, 2013 10:20 pm
oh wood carbon wood etc cool! jats
Tue May 21, 2013 10:19 pm
bummer those frames looked cool marine ply would be cool dose it have to be plywood? jats
Tue May 21, 2013 10:19 pm
the ply with the carbon layers should give an interesting finish to the frame... lots of parralel lines down the top and bottom of the "tubes" LukeTheJoker
Tue May 21, 2013 10:18 pm
Probably a marine hardwood ply, Birch? I think? I believe they have stopped making bamboo/carbon frames now as the carbon does not flex enough. The new style seems to be bamboo wrapped in hemp rope and epoxy at the joints... LukeTheJoker
Tue May 21, 2013 10:17 pm
nice inside track on the how to, scene some cool carbon bamboo frame pics! what kind of wood? jats
Tue May 21, 2013 10:15 pm
