Here is a video of me sawing the Look frame up. <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yaLmi-V1i4Under The Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04989120947847465065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26817114.post-86595910280453802972011-03-02T04:41:06.890-08:002011-03-02T04:41:06.890-08:00Hey Glen, In regards to the frame that you broke ...Hey Glen, In regards to the frame that you broke the head tube off of, obviously it was very strong, I imagine strong enough to ride, but it doesn't appear that the carbon was very thick at all at the juncture. I guess my question is can you get by with that little bit of carbon? I have been practicing wet layup and I will probably overbuild the first frame for safety reasons. I have not used pre-preg yet. What type of oven do you use?MEECHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15102797574849689960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26817114.post-81918558140054983072011-02-19T19:40:14.771-08:002011-02-19T19:40:14.771-08:00Thanks Dimitri, I've almost finished frame #2 ...Thanks Dimitri, I've almost finished frame #2 now but didn't take as many photos.
