I likt TTT's so even though its an unknown, presumed cheap frame, i figure i'd show it some love :)

I started with the forks, thought they needed some standers. Was going to buy some but wheres the fun in that!
So i got some inch square box steel.
Cut some wedges and shaped em to fit the forks.
I then pie cut them and pinched in the ends so they taper and in the slot i welded some cut up serated bits from an old pedal.
Wleded em to the forks, guesed on placement, and then welded coapping plates underneath.

Next, a coaster bracket, although it now looks like i wont be using it.
A nice man who's name ive forgoten (sorry) sent me a pic of a haro coaster mount. So i copied the dimentions, cut it out of a bit of steel, cut back the drop out and welded it in.

Then time for some chainstay standers. After two failed attempts at making them i bought a pair from jay (cheers fella) cut em up (sorry bout that!) and welded em on.

Now my welding is strong, but not that pretty, 50-50 my fault and shit welder, so a bit of grinding, a smidgen of filler and we were ready for prime.

Key up, rust treat and 1k etch prime.
And here it is.





Now ready for some high build primer, flat and paint.
Its going to be streetbeat green, with white seat/grips/wheels and tyres.


Thing is, its going to need decals, i dont know what it is, and dont really want it to be a replica, so, anyone got or know of some simple white freestyle decals i can use on the bottom tube?

I will update regularly, unless you all aint interested, in which case ill just hide in the corner.
