Braising or welding needed
pickle:
Crazy if you ask me
Gnarlyscoots:
Just out of curiosity Rob, what did you think of the Hutch Terry (Wildon) built? The baby blue one, a replica. The one where he cut and shunted an old school frame about?
Was that crazy too?
Discostu:
I can see where you are both coming from.
I had a similar opinion last year when ed wanted to drill out his 2 hip big boy to fit a wal bashplate.
My opinion was that he was butchering a rare nos frame. So I didn't think it was a good idea to do at all. However since shiners found loads of them, and Everyman and his dog bought one I think it should be done.
I told ed to get on with it. But sadly he has sold the big boy and the bashplate. Coz he now owns a wal. I do also have a spare bashplate and a big boy frame. So I could do this myself. Which would be a bit ironic after I kicked up a fuss about it! :LolLolLolLol:
I suppose if I do the conversion I will have to sit back and take a well deserved torrent of abuse from ed and his buddies. :2gunsfiring_v1: :2gunsfiring_v1:
As for kappys trickstar. I thought it was a great conversion. Done professionally using brazed welds. These can be reheated to remove the lugs. Without any damage to the frame. So he didn't destroy it.
I think the same will be for your trickstar. At the end of the day they might be a few quid to buy. But trickstars are not rare at all. So to modify one isn't a massive no no in my book. :daumenhoch:
