Walt, in particular, makes this possible as his frames are pretty much the most affordable customs out there. IMO, hydro-formed frames are butt-ugly. My Waltworks is stunning to look at and rides even better. Best of all, it cost less than what I have spent on many of my Cannondales. (Cannondale is now hydro-forming, too). Mass production is a good thing, but having a dude like Walt custom build you something is way better.<br /><br />--JonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-27088183098496274962009-11-05T05:46:13.323-08:002009-11-05T05:46:13.323-08:00Well put Rody!Well put Rody!Carl Strongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-90084594633260828702009-11-05T04:59:21.515-08:002009-11-05T04:59:21.515-08:00In another post, could you explain how steel tubin...In another post, could you explain how steel tubing is "drawn", just so we can better understand the process?Fort Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864672502176766391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-28766413448498762002009-11-04T15:28:10.752-08:002009-11-04T15:28:10.752-08:00You mentioned you see many companies using hydrofo...You mentioned you see many companies using hydroforming but not necessarily tuning geometry/ frame spec for different frame sizes. Are there actually any companies you're aware of (custom builders aside) that do vary tubing spec and bb height within their size range?<br /><br />-ipcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151678.post-90745447685443083522009-11-04T14:11:56.303-08:002009-11-04T14:11:56.303-08:00So, does Occur have an accent?
