New member from France
« on: July 30, 2013, 02:20:20 PM »
Hello from France.

My name is Fabrice and i'm currently working on an old project based on a french frame (Martin "poutre") with a 836 engine.
Looking for tips and tricks, i think this is the right place !

Thanks for having me here.

There's a lot of information on the various frames on the Satanic Mechanic website. Sadly, Axel passed away a while ago, but his site is still there!

Great looking bike!
I wish Martin still built that stressed member style frame, rather than the periphery style he switched to. When was your frame made?

The frame was made in '74. Martin is still in business. On demand... ;)
