New Decoweenie Travel-Frame

steevke

John, the alloy is EN AW 5754 aluminium. I selected this one because it has very good corrosion resistance to sea water. http://www.aalco.co.uk/technical/dat...Alloy_5754.pdf

Carry handle in 316 stainless tube is available as an option.

No slots for cylinder bands but you can choose between a set of tank adapters in 10 mm 316L stainless or stainless quick releases.

The holes on the side also fit the standard APD quick disconnects.

And yes, the blue tubing is from swagelock.

Pricing will basically depend on anodising costs, we will confirm exact prices later, but we will do our best to offer excellent value for money.

Hi

This looks great

Will this frame hold two 3 liter cylinders on each side ?

Hi,

Thanks for answering all my questions behind the scenes, Steve. Really appreciate the time and effort you put in.

Please definately count me in for one. I was going to try and get a second hand travel frame but with this only being 0.7Kg heavier and much more sturdy, this definatley had to be the way to go.

Let me know when you want some cash mate.

Regards
Stewart

Hello Nick,

You can attach heavier stuff if you want to, but I'd stop at 7 liters or al40's.

Once we have decided whether to include the QR tank attachments or not, we will post the pics.

Thanks for the replies here and PM, we will post more pics/details once the design is finalized within a few weeks.

Interested, price dependent, but it looks like the solution to my problem. Or at least one of my problems

Can you mount larger cylinders onto it? Is it strong enough to run with 5s or 7s on there?

Digs.

Thanks for the reply, forgot to ask will this eaisly suit the Evo scrubber?

We will build a slightly shorter version for the evo as well. You can fit the shorter scrubber in the standard frame, but you might need a spacer to lift the scrubber - I will test this with the Evo of a friend of mine before deciding to build a dedicated Evo frame.

Digs,
Standard 7s should pose no problem, but I wouldn't use 300 bars though.
