'Kuv hais rau nws yog tias qhov kev txhawj xeeb tiag tiag ces peb yuav tsum nqa txoj cai no tawm mus rau hauv txoj kev, thawb nws hla thiab tawm ntawm txoj kev.
'Yog koj tsis mus caij nws raws li qhov nws xav, qhov taw tes yog dab tsi?'
Tim O'Donnell, tus txiv neej tom qab Shamrock Cycles thiab yog ib tus hais lus ceev tshaj plaws, txawj ntse tshaj plaws-cracking framebuilders hauv kev lag luam, tau teb rau cov lus nug ntawm seb nws qhov kev tsim steel tshiab yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws los caij.
Zoo li tus poj niam uas tau txib nws txhawj xeeb txog kev rhuav tshem lub tsheb kauj vab zoo nkauj los ntawm kev siv nws lub hom phiaj: pob zeb sib tw.
O'Donnell piav qhia tias, ua tsaug rau nws qhov me me, nws muaj peev xwm tsim cov thav duab no los ntawm tus qauv, tsis yog qhov loj, cov raj hlau thaum khaws cov khoom nruj txaus rau kev sib tw.
Lub taub hau raj yog kev cai tsim los ntawm Asmeskas cov kws tshaj lij hlau Paragon Machine Works, cov kev tso tawm tuaj ntawm British distributor Ceeway, cov rooj zaum yog qhov tseeb Temper, lub qhov muag sab saum toj - taw qhia qhov kawg ntawm qhov chaw zaum - yog los ntawm Japanese Keirin hom Samson, cov raj tseem ceeb yog Columbus Lub Neej thiab cov lugs yog Nuovo Ritchie. Ntawm cov npe ntawd ob qhov kawg tshwj xeeb tsis yog koj cov khoom qub.
'Cov lugs yog bi-laminate. Lawv pib ua Nuovo tab sis kuv tau mus rau ntawm lawv nrog lub zeb thiab cov ntaub ntawv thiab lawv nyob deb ntawm qhov tam sim no, ' hais tias O'Donnell.
'Lub ob-lam me ntsis txhais tau hais tias kuv tau hlais ib qho kawg thiab muab khi rau hauv lub raj kom nws zoo li lub raj muaj zog nrog ib nrab lub lug ntawm qhov kawg, tsis zoo li lub lug li niaj zaus uas muaj ob qhov sib txuas. thaj chaw.
'Cov hlab yog Columbus Lub Neej Rau Lugs, tab sis lawv tau npog hauv cov hlau tsis muaj steel shamrocks uas kuv tau brazed ua ntej tsim lub tsheb kauj vab.
Txhua tus yog laser-txiav los ntawm cov ntawv hlau los ntawm kuv tus phooj ywg, tom qab ntawd kuv muab tso rau hauv daim ntawv ua ntej nrog tib txoj kab uas hla ntawm lub raj thiab nias rau hauv cov duab ua ntej brazing nws.'
Nyob rau hauv tag nrho, lub thav duab no yog adorned nrog 54 shamrocks, nrog rau ib tug nyob rau hauv qab ntawm lub down raj engraved nrog tus tswv lub npe.
O'Donnell kwv yees tias cov khoom siv hluav taws xob tsis zoo no tau siv sijhawm tag nrho tsim los ntawm ib puag ncig 18 teev mus txog ze li 30.
'Kev tsim thiab brazing tej zaum yuav siv sijhawm plaub teev, tab sis polishing tau so,' nws hais.
'Lub tsheb kauj vab tag nrho tau pleev xim rau, tom qab ntawd koj yuav tsum npog txhua yam nyob ib ncig ntawm txhua lub shamrock kom koj tsis txhob khawb cov xim thaum koj mus rau ntawm lawv nrog xuab zeb-stick kom nthuav tawm cov hlau tsis huv hauv qab cov xim. Tom qab ntawd koj yuav tsum txhuam lawv.'
Yuav ua tau ntau dua sim kom cov xim npog cov shamrocks tsis tau nyias li nws.
Muaj hmoo rau O'Donnell, nws tus neeg pleev kob tshwj xeeb hauv kev pleev xim rau cov kaus mom hlau rau cov nyiam ntawm Formula One tsav tsheb, qhov twg 'yog tias koj tsav tsheb ntawm 200mph, 50g cov xim pleev xim rau saum koj lub taub hau ua qhov sib txawv loj'. Txawm li cas los xij, yuav tsum muaj ntau qhov nyuaj graft.
'Koj tsis tuaj yeem saib TV thiab ua nws. Koj yuav tsum mob siab rau vim tias cov xim hlau yog xim hlau, yog li koj ntes nws, nws nyuaj heev rau kov yam tsis tuaj yeem pom tias nws tau kov, 'O'Donnell ntxiv.
'Thiab ntau npaum li kuv ntxub polishing - nws yog qhov phem, ua haujlwm qias neeg - Kuv tsuas yog yuav tsum tau tuav qhov ntawd thiab nco ntsoov tias nws yuav siv sijhawm ntev npaum li cas nws yuav siv sijhawm thiab ib tus neeg them nyiaj rau nws.'
Nyob zoo txhua lub sijhawm
Rau nws qhov kev sib tw pob zeb kawg, 54-shamrock Shamrock tau tsim nrog ib pawg hydraulic nkaus los ntawm Rotor, Uno, uas txhais tau tias tsis muaj kev hloov pauv mus rau phom.
'Muaj tag nrho cov hydraulic hoses tau ua pov thawj nyuaj thaum nws tuaj txog kev nyab xeeb thiab huv si routing lawv los ntawm tus ncej, tab sis nws zoo nkaus li huv si.'
Nws yog qhov tseeb, tsis tshua muaj qhov pom ntawm qhov pom, thiab thaum lub shamrocks yog cov hniav zoo nkauj muaj ib qho uas ua haujlwm raws li qhov txuas ntxiv hose-nkag nkag rau hauv qhov kev vam meej zoo uas sib xyaw ua haujlwm nrog zam.
Yog li cas O'Donnell tuaj txog ntawm qhov kev txaus siab heev rau kev tsim tsheb kauj vab?
'Zoo, qhov no yog ib txoj haujlwm uas tsuas yog tshwm sim thaum kuv tsis saib,' nws hais. 'Kuv tau ua ntau yam kev kho tsheb maus taus rau kev lom zem, feem ntau yog BSAs qub thiab Nortons. Tom qab ntawd kuv xav tias, "Kuv xav tias kuv tuaj yeem tsim lub tsheb kauj vab?" Yog li kuv tau ua, thiab nws yog qhov nkhaus zoo li polio!
Tab sis kuv muaj qhov mantra: puag tus fnce. Yog li kuv nyuam qhuav sim kawm ntawm kuv qhov yuam kev thiab ua lwm yam, tau zoo dua me ntsis, ces lwm qhov, tau zoo dua me ntsis.
'Cia li ib tug hais kom kuv tsim ib tug, thiab tam sim no 10 xyoo thiab suav kuv twb Shamrock. Thiab txawm tias tam sim no txhua zaus kuv tseem sim ua kom zoo dua me ntsis. Koj yeej tsis yog "ua tiav" kev tsim kho.'
Thiab yog vim li cas Shamrock? 'Zoo, Kuv yog Irish thiab muaj "Shamrock" txhua yam, yog li kuv xav tias vim li cas lub ntuj raug txim tsis yog Shamrock tsheb kauj vab? Thiab yog tias nws tau paj loj dua, xav txog seb lub tsheb kauj vab no yuav siv sijhawm ntev npaum li cas.'
