As I look at your fillets and brazing the later joints (seat stays on drop outs as example) the work looks better. Very typical with beginners as the time with the torch is greater than when they do the first few joints. For this reason I have tried to come up with little projects that I can practice my brazing on before the next frame. Andy
Is it strange that I like the classic Celeste/puke green too? At least nobody is going to confuse my bike with theirs.
I doubt I will ever braze another frame. My second frame is a TIG Ti that I'm just finishing the component build on. TIG is more natural for me and Ti with the thicker tubes and minimal 'clean up' makes it a much more forgiving build for me. While the materials are 3x a steel build, I will likely only ever build for me/friends/family so I'm not too worried.
