My latest project turned up today and i thought it may be interesting to do a build thread rather than the usual secret build and big reveal thing.
I first saw one of these on the museum a while back when Gary the owner listed his frame and forks which at the time was the only one on there. Recently i have find myself collecting more and more oddball freestyle bits and exotica. When this popped up the other week i had to have it for the collection :)

The frame needs a few repairs and will need the chrome stripping. The seller included a set of forks which were as close to the originals as he could find but personally, besides the frame i think the original spec bike is a little bland so i plan to lose the forks and customise a set to look more freestyle.
An original example:

With 3d printing, waterjet cutting and god knows what else planned for this build be sure to tune in folks :daumenhoch:

Interestingly the fine print lines can be smoothed out with a technique called fume polishing which not only give great results but may be useful with plastic part resto's like seats and pedals.
The pedals are a much finer print than this owl but you can see how effective it is :daumenhoch:

With that in mind i set about making a frame block :daumenhoch:
Frame blocks work by clamping them around the dented area, heavily greasing and rotating whilst slowly tightening the clamp to coax out the dent. Any dent in a tube will distort the area around it and often returning the area to a perfect circle can all but remove some dents :)
I dug out an offcut of ali and cut it into two equal pieces.
4 holes were drilled, countersunk and tapped to hold bolts and a hole the same diameter as the tube to be worked was drilled through each half of the paired block
(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x455/oldschoolace/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_2433_zpsfavv3vz7.jpg) (http://s1182.photobucket.com/user/oldschoolace/media/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_2433_zpsfavv3vz7.jpg.html)

I used a wood spade bit that i had ground down a little so it was just under the tube diameter.
Once the hole was drilled i could tidy it up and bore it out to the exact diameter with a littler drum sanding bit.

Decided to remove as much materiall as possible off the back of the tube straightener so i could get into the tight areas like the top tube. Put a little 6mm steel shaft into the body to help get a better grip when rotating it :)

Today ive been mulling over the paint job. With the damage to the frame it needs the chrome stripping to repair properly.
Whilst i was initially annoyed that i would need to lose the chrome i have decided to go with it and use it as an opportuntity to do something a little different with the colour scheme.
A distant 80's video popped into my head with its momentary flashes of splatter colour. After a while searching the net in vain i found it :)
Take a look, its a proper trip down 80's memory lane.

Cable clamp finally arrived and the temptation to have a little play was too great.
Once i had cut the pointy towers off and ground the inside of the clamp smooth i offered it up to the bent tube only to discover the clamp was a little too thick to slide down far enough to meet the dent.
10 mins on the grinder and it was a perfect fit :daumenhoch:

I cut a few lengths of 10mm threaded rod and drilled a scrap of aluminium to form a clamp end.
The whole thing was mounted over a 4 inch plank of ash timber

I started to tighten the nuts and slowly but surely the top tube began to move back where it belonged.

Once tight to the timber i released the clamps and although much better it wasnt bob on so i cut i fine dip in the timber to pull the tube beyond straight, knowing it would relax straight one i released the pressure :daumenhoch:

Once straight it was time to break out the rounding tool i made. A slow process of tightening the nuts coupled with rotating the tool with plenty of oil soon had the tube back to being as round as it could be, leaving just the dent to be filled.
