Just about done with this thing.......I added the shifter cable bosses and a set of rack bosses.
Only the studs are stainless, the reinforcement is carbon steel and will be painted.
Another view...
The stainless rack bosses. One boss is extended to double as a chain hanger peg.
Seen here installed on the fixturing to keep them in perfect alignment when I braze them.
Brazing the uppers onto the seat stays.
There, seen in-place and polished. All the brazing is done. Next thing is some additional polishing on the stainless bits, clean it and get it ready for primer and paint. Tonight I'll make a simple bending guide and start the water bottle cages and with any luck I'll shoot the primer on the frame on the weekend.Still gotta figure out a color scheme....
