Plycycle Mk2: January 2015

http://plycyclemk2.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

This is my blog following the build of the PLYCYCLE Mk2, a wooden framed bicycle. Have a look at the original Plycycle here. Compare this with last time. A closer look with video. There is still a way to go before it is ready for varnishing, but I am happy with the progress. I still don't know how I am going to fix the seat post in. Latest thought is to chop off the riser and epoxy it in like last time, but that seems a bit defeatist, so I will try and figure a simple way to make it adjustable.

Plycycle Mk2: September 2014

http://plycyclemk2.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

This is my blog following the build of the PLYCYCLE Mk2, a wooden framed bicycle. Have a look at the original Plycycle here. I found a great selection of parts at Ceeway. Frame building supplies. I found two options so ordered both to test (and to fulfill their minimum order requirements) out mu options. Here are the two options. The two cable fixing options. Failed silver soldering attempts. So I set about spraying them up. I lightly roughed up the surface with wet and dry paper, then super glued li...

Just got back from a weekend in West Wales at the DO Lectures and I feel very privillaged to have been there indeed. The four days of inspiring lectures were organised and the brainchild of howies. The idea is simply to inspire people to do stuff. There was a truely diverse set of people from surfer Andy Cummins to Scientist Micheal Brangarht. It will take a while for all the information and wise words to settle I think. An unexpected favorite was the gingerbread and Russell Davies. In Case of Emergency.

Plycycle Mk2: Varnish-first coat.

http://plycyclemk2.blogspot.com/2015/04/varnish-first-coat.html

This is my blog following the build of the PLYCYCLE Mk2, a wooden framed bicycle. Have a look at the original Plycycle here. It seemed like a long way off for ages and now it is here it is a very exciting time in the project. Like many other stages this is a point of no return. First coat of varnish. This first coat is thinned down 20% with thinners as a wetting/preparation coat. It may lift the wood grain in places, so it will need a good chack then light sanding before the final four coats go on.

Plycycle Mk2: December 2014

http://plycyclemk2.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

This is my blog following the build of the PLYCYCLE Mk2, a wooden framed bicycle. Have a look at the original Plycycle here. It is a frame! Before i mixed up the epoxy, I did a final dry assembly to check wheel alignment and that everything still fitted, and made some last minute trims and tweaks. One of the main things I did was to drill lots of very shallow holes and rough up the contacts surfaces on the parts to be bonded. I also had to abraid the insides of the metal tubing on the drop outs.
