framejig purchase

[Jean Andre Vall]

Thanks for all your help. It would be nice to find a jig that would allow me to make single speed
cruiser type bicyle frames. I now realize that recumbants or multispeed racing or touring bicycle
frame building equipment isn't my true passion. But just pedaling around town with a basket and
coaster brakes is. There are a lot of imports in this catagory but not any info on frame building
using those single speed components. Any suggections. Purchasing a complete jig isn't out of the
question however what is the correct one for this? Please send url links and company info if
available. Thanks

If you can make frames you can make a fixture. We used 1/4" steel plate with several heavy steel
angle strips bolted diagonally to the back side . Minimal cost and trouble.

there is a framebuilder's list, which has consistently excellent advice, and similarly excellent
searchable archives

for simple types of DIY jigs, you can peruse the internet, or take a glance at
http://pantheon.yale.edu/~aaa37/portfolio/bikes/framebuild/frame.htm there are some pictures of my
jig(s) in there, and they seem to do the job... so far (not done yet!)
