Folks, has the oversized tubing issued been solved? I've read through this thread and read all the great ideas. I personally lean towards purchasing a manufactured mount. I noticed the mount by Ridley but the money they want is prohibitive. I'm hoping the Manic Mechanic will stay in business long enough to build two for me but if not, I have to find some somewere.

I have two brand new Landmarks in my living room right now. Both of the bikes are laughing at me as I tried to figure out the downtube oversize issue. It was a heck of a rise in learning just installing the rag joint for the rear sprockets! Then the engine mounts hit me with another challenge. I will persevere however.


So my question is...which vendor actually is selling mounts for the common man now?

Thanks for any input.

Wayne

Here are are a couple that I know of for 15 plus shipping. I had the same problem as well with the oversize tubing. I just used a steel plate and a 2" U-bolt. Works great

Hope this helps

Hi Nogoodnic, I have not seen a mount like that since 1999! (yours is better tho, because Steve used to drill 2 holes as I remember). Thanks for the memories, Amigo! I hope things are going well for you, I haven't talked to you in a long time, is PA close to you? If so you could maybe meetup with Chris, Jim, and Jay, and see their EZM's.


Mike
