Stretch a Raleigh?

[KOTA]

Just an idea for maybe something in the future, don't know yet. Just my feeble attempt at "paint"....IF I did it I would like to acquire another GREEN frame to do the stretching, leaving the (tig) welds raw, and no finish painting. Looks pretty simple. What do you think?

 

[KZ1000]

didn't you just say yesterday No more stretches, burritos, etc. just plain old simple frames from now on

 

[KOTA]

Well, that's what I'm feeling today. Who knows what I'll feel like building in the future.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I believe this is what I said.

I think you'll be splicing cables and sticking to the pavement. :|

Cables are simple, and usually only ride pavement anyway.

The only reason to do this, is to, uhh, upset some people...............Thank you!

KOTA that is an awesome idea. I'm about to cut up some Raleigh's for a swing bike project. Tell me what your looking for in parts and I can give you my cast offs.

Those are brazed joint's? If it's a lugged frame. Make your welds a little bit away from the braze.

That is a great reason, but I think you are just trying to show Raleigh the FeetForward design that everyone else has.

Slice and dice trumps shed-rot. If you know what you're doing, why build with crap?
