Framing a 17" Bicycle Frame

Hi,

I had a voicemail today to frame a 17" bicycle in a frame - like you do...!

Has anyone ever been approached to do one, if so what was involved?

I assume the bike doesn't have handle bars....!

Thanks,

Sean

Yes, here's hoping that they're are no handlebars Moglet

Thanks Roboframer - that's a good link there to the Grumble and the frame that was framed looks good.

In the event that I did embark on the project, presumably the frame would have to be made from a number of extenders (which moudling supplier would supply them COD I don't know), or one could make a big, deep frame out of timber then some-how front it with a moulding.

The plot thickens...!

....a firm in Essex can make a bespoke acrylic case which is a snip at £370 - I'd have to arrange collection and make the wooden backing.

Another option is to look into making a deep frame using extender bars/mouldings - do you know of any suppliers of extender bars in the UK who I could approach?

Thanks,

Sean
