What to do with a dead frame?
I figure a lamp to be easy. The screw-in part of a regular lamp can easily be taken out, and may just slide right into our seat tubes, if not, bending the metal and forming it to fit wont be too tough, just tedious. Then you can run the wires into the frame, which may require drilling, which is also easy. A cover can just be bought, cause they have the kind with the metal wires that just slide onto the lightbulb. The hardest part will be building a solid base for it, which actually wont be hard at all. A solid chunk of nice looking wood, and you can have the bearing holders screw right into it. Stain the wood, Bevel (is that what its called) a nice smooth look around the edges and wallah! I want to do this to my Nimbus II frame, but its in perfect condition still, so I feel like as soon as i use it for a project, im going to need it. haha. -- Jerrick [SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jerrick's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11632 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73354 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Smilymarco;1109598 wrote: I will build a table I really like that idea. You could do it w/ just three frames, but four would prob be better. I would screw the legs into boards and screw the boards together. Also I'd do the same on the top for increased stability (maybe thick, clear plexiglass). If you use seatposts, you don't need the same size frames & would be easier to mount to the top boards. -- skilewis74 Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere.

What to do with a dead frame?
The lamp would be really fun, but where would you run the power cord? (would obviously need to run up to the light from the base). It would be hard to drill out a space to run it up inside the frame. It would be really cool to have a uni lamp, but I don't wanna zip tie a power cord up to it. -- Ben Meighen Git-R-Done ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ben Meighen's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17884 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73354 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

What to do with a dead frame?
Nice thing about ym frame is that there is a nice crack on the left hand side, so it'll be pretty easy me thinks to open it and run the cord through that, and at the top of the frame it'll be hidden by the lamp shade. Should work well I might try and find a piece of metal for the base, and get a friend to weld it on... To keep the same materials through out. It'll be nice once I get the base ad the rim for the lampshade -- evil-nick Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.
