Hey guys. I'm going to start my sixth frame soon and I don't want to buy a BB already faced and threaded from abroad (I'm in Brazil, if you want to know). I can get tubes of the right size for bbs here, problem is they come in bars 6 meters long. So I need to find a way to prepare this tubes to turn them into rideable bikes.
Other problem: money. I was looking at the cyclus threader tool (.: RA-CO GmbH • IHR RADSPORT GROSSHANDEL • 720140 - bottom bracket threading tool BSA (1,370" x 24 tpi) complete PROFESSIONAL TOOL :.), wich would fit my budget. But it's just a threader. Does anyone own/have seen this tool? Is it possible to fit a reamer spare somehow? I can probably get reamers from the right size around here, but I haven't seen a 1.37"x24tpi anywhere near.
Other ideia: buy a head tube reamer, fit a bb reamer and use this tool for lots of things around the workshop.
I don't have a lathe, although it is a possibility for the future. I can also send the tubes to someone who has a lathe, but I find this pretty expensive too.
Any ideas or tips?
