oxy acetylene welding aluminum
I didn't know that was possible..... oxy acetylene welding aluminum ....
Mine looked mustard squirted out of a stopped up container....
The Bible- some of the geometry discussed is dated but if you want to build a lugged frame, this is the best.I tried my hand at frame building years ago using oxy acetylene and lug brazing. Let's just say it weren't that good... it's a fine skill and I'll fight anyone that says otherwise!!
Looks great, hope BoJo appreciates it!
The thing about welding is that it is like shooting pool.
If you don't do it every day you lose your stroke.
How so? Boris is fairly famous (at least in the UK) for his bike riding to get round town. Not to mention his time as London Mayor and the Boris BikesI just try to imagine him attempting to ride that thing.
On some days I can make a TIG torch work.

In my previous life we employed some machinists and metal fabricators to repair excavation equipmentMy buddy was a full-time MIG/TIG welder..dude's welds were immaculate. Practice makes perfect I guess. Mine looked mustard squirted out of a stopped up container....
Harry Havnoonian a frame builder was (is?) in Media, just outside of Philly.
I had no idea there was a bicycle manufacturer in Philly - very cool!
A lot of track riders had Havnoonian frames. Good to know he’s still doing his thing.Harry Havnoonian a frame builder was (is?) in Media, just outside of Philly.
Did anyone see Joe Biden’s gift to Boris Johnson for the G7 summit? A custom bike from Bilenky Cycle Works in Philly built a cool bike in record time (like, a few days)!:

Looks like a TIG welded steel frame? Anyone know what those components are? The chainring/crankset is really cool.
Hopefully this creation will bring a lot of good publicity for that small (4-person) bike manufacturer!
Honestly, I don't know if he is, thats why I said was/is?A lot of track riders had Havnoonian frames. Good to know he’s still doing his thing.
