Lugged bobber (late entry). Finished! Moved to finished bicycles post.

[boro]

Hello!
Hope it's still not to late to enter the competition.
I've always liked lugged frame bicycles and wanted to build one myself, but not a classic road frame. So I've come with a design

Got some tubes and lugs

I started this build on last Saturday.
Yesterday I had all the joints cleaned of flux.

Now I have to do some more brazing and than dress up the frame

I assume the hole in the top tube is for some kind of shifter?

Actually not I have to close that hole. I've used a piece of tube to make kind of lug for the seat stays. (Thin tubes that I was able to bend at home) The shifter will be placed on the middle tube.

very cool build i love the lines on this and the fact you did it out on your balcony is crazy !

Making a lugged frame from scratch is definitely on my list of to-dos.

Yeah no doubt, I wish I had a brazing rig.

Actually it's a kind of terrace, there is plenty of space to do stuff like this. My neighbours still did not kill me so I think I'm not bothering them too much.

Found a nice rat trap fork for this frame. Now I have to wait for it to be shipped from USA to Spain.

Which wheel / tire combo did you use for this build? I like the look! And nice work on the lugged frame as well. Your frame jig looks like it has unique design as well, is that your creation?

The rims are 26 x 65mm wide. And the tires are schwalbe fat Frank 26x2.25.
The jig is the jiggernaut jig, you can get it online from flatpackfoundry.(I'm not getting payed for the advertisement)[emoji2]

Put parts together to see whether everything fits.

The way you split that top tube is strange, but it works. It's different.

I didn't find any lug for double top tube, so I decided to make it myself so it would look like a lug.

Wow. Home made board tracker. Very Cool

Spanish-made custom lugged tracker frame with a USA rattrap springer. Can you say"RAT"?? I say its a rat.
