Wow, I always dreamt if I learned to weld I'd build a frame like this, with twin tubes, like those craddle frames from Norton or Triumph, don't really remember which was it. This is gonna be crazy awesome. Which thread is it, Matti?

Wait.....
I thought he just layed his chain on his bike (I must admit I did not read all of his plans)
Thats just too wood to be true!
It would need something for the chain to roll on though. Otherwise the chain would run very heavy, also the chain pull probably will make the chain to gradually eat through the frame, which will lead to chain slack and eventually frame failure.
There will be abs plastic as a guide at the contact points
That pretty neat!
Dit you consider the derailleur wheels? Or bronze bush bearings? Of Teflon?
I do not know what the friction coefficient of ABS is, or will they be rollers?
Sorry for all the questions, suddenly I am even more interested in your build

Space is limited, so no pulleys, I also want it so be smooth so I won't feel the notches of the chain as i pedal. I can shape the plastic to have a gradual ramp, so that lowers that affect. Chain guides like these, with the same plastic, are used on down hill mountain bikes and 3-wheel recumbent bikes in the same way.

Hi A couple of years ago I said I was going to make an aluminium bodied Hebmuller. Well, I changed my mind! For the last year or so I have been planning my new project. I'm making a car based on a beetle chassis with a handmade aluminium body in the style of a 1950's race car. Now, I have...
