So here's the rest of the frame. Bulkheads 1 and 4 now have double brakes and will be TIG'd to 1&3 for additional rigidity. Testing with Monstrosity showed that this was the primary area for flex. Materials are all 4130 of various diameter and thickness.
Special thanks to Brad & Janet at Valley Racks in Elliot Mississippi for their excellent waterjet services. They're cutting our parts first thing next week. Waterjet cutting allows us very precise tolerances, and the whole thing practically snaps together. With an artisan like Jeff on the torch, this frame should spring to life next weekend.
In other news, the orange braided brake lines are here and graphics are on the way from DeCal Works! We'll be designing the RM250-style side number panels around them once the mounts for the 'monoposto' are complete. Ergos are going to be rather pro-quad once the titanium footpegs are mounted. Stay tuned...
