    Hey,

    Anyone know a frame builder in Ireland, one that can work with aluminium,
    Even a good engineering shop that has experience with aluminium would be perfect,

    I´m trying to get someone to put some track ends on my mtb, since you can´t buy aluminium track ends they will need to be fabricated.

    thanks for any replies,

    What size is your frame?

    Cos I have a Kona Unit frame with track ends gathering dust.

    ah ok,
    its just a 21in 4300 trek, nothing special, its my work hack and i really want to get it to a fixie,

    what would one have to do to part you with one of those frames,

    An ENO hub is going to be cheaper than fabricating track ends and getting someone to weld them into an Alu frame and having it heat treated again and resprayed!

    do you really need to get the whole frame heat treated, have you ever seen a frame fail because it wasn´t heat treated again,
