Re: I mucked up the photo sequence
Nope, must be another Bryan! I was hanging out with an Aussie girl in Idaho back then... Thanks for asking though!

New Llewellyn Rando rack bosses
I made some bits with the lathe, fillet brazed the rack legs
Nah, this is not the best way.
The easy way or the best way.
SolidWorks was fired up. Drawings, rapids, all was good, then the samples, super.
Production stock ordered and now here if you need them, you know you need them :noworry:
So I have stainless steel rack bosses that fit directly into Paul Components Canti brakes. Articulated for 8mm tube, any angle rack leg, curved or straight and with a M3 head light earthing screw boss on one of the bosses.

Re: New Llewellyn Rando rack bosses
I am a metal worker, a bicycle frame builder, I make frames and stuff from metal.
It is my chosen path of professional expression since 1979 as a 16yo obnoxious young sod racing bikes I had vision of what I wanted to be. The bike world has been good to me.
I make my way in society by the work from my hands and with Joe Cosgove's superb painting
I do not want to be a trinket merchant, if I get that urge I will quit and fill pot holes with the council road gang for my $ before I market off my decaying reputation.
The lathe, the most beautiful thing

Curved stainless mudguard washer, no screw to work loose, M5 Nyloc is the best way

The rack and bag position is plotted before building every rando so one's hands do not rub on the bag when on the tops.
I cannot believe the bikes I see with the bags 15mm from the bars.

Re: New Llewellyn Rando rack bosses
This is my favorite string of posts on this entire forum. I hope this is archived and separated from everything else. It's incredible.
Re: New Llewellyn Rando rack bosses
Great stuff, mr. McCulloch.
I really like the attention to detail in useful things, sleeved internal cable routing gets two thumbs up from me! :amuse:

The rear Llewellyn Rando lunch box rack
The rear rack is now formed up
Jigs locate it within .5 and square of the rear mudguard.
The legs are bent, cut and mitred to fit the located rack. (the rear M.G has been removed)

'Rando Roller' is the red roller cabinet and chest in the middle of the picture which holds all the rando and rack making jigs, fittings and materials.

Lathe work again, all this work, takes a lot of time. This is why the cost of the rando, racks and bags reflects this.

More finsih work on the Llewellyn Voyageur rando
Re: More finsih work on the Llewellyn Voyageur rando
No questions. Beautiful work.
Re: More finsih work on the Llewellyn Voyageur rando
No questions, only one remark: no gloss&chrome Llewellyn frame. Deal breaker for me
