In this context I have to mention one of our most important inventions: the two-sided double threaded R-L/L-R flipflop BSA BB-shell.
If your BB-shell is placed with the threads wrong sided - cut those threads the right way and ride it. It does work!

Georg and Ulrich told us not to be too stingy with flux. We made some science around this postulated theory and invented the beer fixture. This fixture added reasonable value to our work. Beside the external flux we added a sufficient amount of internal flux to our working procedures, which keeps the hands steady and it helps to fix small parts when brazing :blink1:

that right there is engineering brilliance.
Schwechater. that one was easy... for another Austrian ;-)

Very cool, guys. Where is your shop located?
vienna/austria 17th district "die kleine fahrradwerkstatt" fahrradwerk.at
but thomas is quite busy these days, you have to ask for an audience :blink1:
This was my third frame, built around late 2012. Reynolds 725 with once again stainless Llewellyn stuff. The frame features disc braking with internal cable routing and internal electrical wiring including some work based on ideas I saw on Tony Pereira's web site. At this time (two years ago) I did not trust my skills to be good enough to build a disc-fork which is save. Therefore I asked Ulrich to make me one.
I described the build of this frame on my web site in details. Here are some shots:

but of course knowledge is not only gained via the internet.
so we organized several "educational journeys", mainly in combination with the annual l`eroica participation
when visiting the builders interesting working techniques could have been studied .. for example brazing with propane at quite high temperatures (vetta)

and two years ago, i visited Dario Pegoretti, but manly to see how my frame was created :cool:

at the Bespoked we got invitations from Faggin and also Columbus(!) to visit their workshop/factories :bigsmile:
Many many congratulations to Pippo and the other guys of Selberbruzzler!! Hope you can come to our Austrian Version of Pegoraduno this weekend in Wachau ...i've send via pm to Pippo the mail of Advineas!!!
i have forwarded this years pegoraduno programm to our collective.
at least i will be there at advineas place on saturday.
see you soon!

At this stage of our evolution we are focusing on kids cycles :cheesy:
I started with this one in march

And here is a series of shots from the latest build. Michael finished a road racer for his son (6 years old)
His build uses the same drawing I have made for my 20incher.

Cranks
Michael opted for a used Shimano FC600 compact crank, where he shortened the cranks. Here is the sequence of the retrofit..

maybe the best bike the selberbruzzler ever made so far (sorry noize ;)
the l'eroica project is also developing good, i am just to lazy for documenting here ...
but i vow to improve!
and here an update from my l'eroica frame:
frame is almost finished, only cantibosses and downtube shifter bosses missing.
