Regina’s Road Frame: w/Modified Prugnant Lugs.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Sir Maldoror @ 8:19 am

Current project in the works is a stable and comfortable road frame for a local cyclist. I worked on modyfing these lugs by adding some material to make points. This is a 54cm frame and it has plenty of Head Tube to add some points. 

The main triangle was tacked, brazed, and then checked for alignment and twist. These are modified Prugnant lugs with a vintage Columbus SL tubeset. 

…more later…

     What’s up people?! Welcome to our site. Primero, un fuerte abrazo para toda la gente que nos ha contactado mostrándonos su apoyo. Sus voces siguen dándonos valor, sabiduría y consciencia: VIVA Chikle/Selina, Tip Top Kustoms Familia, SDShop Coop, and Daniela, of course!  As a dear friend wrote, “summer came and died in its own heat”, Autumn is here, but the sun refuses to dissipate its bright golden leaves!

     Slowcraft Maldoror has been busy in the Shop cooking up some new frames. There’s a “Dark Roast” road bike going up to to Julian this weekend. Omar’s road frame was completed some months ago. But it took some time to have it built up. I’ll be posting some pictures of this construction.

     In the works is a nice Road frame for Regina: modified Prugnant Lugs with extensive hand filing, vintage Columbus SL tubing, and Campy Drop-Outs. See pictures.

     Also in the kitchen: a nice small frame for Teresa. I’m making these lugs from scratch and bonding them to Vintage Columbus SL tubes. A fast city road bike. It’s taking a bit longer since my fork fixture is still being fabricated.

     Well, we close for now, but be ready for the next Slowcraft Maldoror NewsWire coming out in early December, printed by Chikle of course.
