I wanted to build myself a new singlespeed frame to replace my Cooper Sebring. As one of the bikes I ride the most I wanted something a little different so designed in a wishbone rear stay using a Triumph conrod which was pretty heavily cut back to form the wishbone and the front fork crown. I think it looks pretty cool and certainly never seen one before.
Should be off to the powder coaters this week so just need to choose a colour….
Being a motorcycle fan I wanted to include some moto style into a bike frame. Whilst considering wishbone stays I figured a smallish moto conrod could possibly do the job. A lot of them, particularly modern jap ones, are pretty ugly. A few look a bit better and these Triumph ones have Triumph embossed into them and are about the right size. Cut some plugs into the base that will fit into 14mm stays, carve out most of the underside, the small end to fit the seat tube and bobs your uncle.
