    Welding - what type do you use?

    As per thread title, what type of welder/welding do you guys use to put together custom frames/burrito bikes? The reason I ask is I only really have access to an ARC/Stick type welder & wondered if this may be a little heavy duty for welding bike tubing together? Any input would be gratefully...

    How to fade chrome/make it dull??

    Hi guys, go a little trike build on the go. It has some chrome bars and mudguards I'm looking to make look a lot more corroded or at least lose the shine from it.

It might not be the best base for a project only having 14" wheels and not being a full sized Moulton, but...

    Need to fill in some holes in my Moultonframe & wheel advice needed.

    Hey guys, as per my thread in the build section, I have a Moulton Mini I'm currently stripping down to rat/rod out. The frame used to have a plastic chainguard, which I have cut off and disguarded. I am now left with three threaded holes in the frame which are now redundant. Just wondering...

    Unkown year Moulton Mini - ideas welcome!
