Brazing CS's into BB


Brazed up and cooling off


Checking alignment against the SHS. Note the 2 pieces of steel clamped either end of the SHS to keep it square to itself.


Checking the dropouts are centred to the frame. Made sure to flip the frame over and check again, as the CS's sag somewhat under their own weight.


Checking for the correct angle between ST and CS's


Didnt get any photos, but prior to brazing the seat stays in, I had shaped and brazed the end plugs into the tops. Here they are ready to be brazed into the drop out sockets.


Seat cluster pinned, fluxed, and ready for brazing.


Main frame pretty much complete after soaking off the flux and a quick scotchbrite. Still have a whole lot of filing, sanding and clean up to do, as well as adding all the little braze ons, cantilever bosses, and bridges.
