The work progresses. I finished the rear triangle. The one spot that framebuilders typically try to make a signature design is the seat cluster. It's a very low stress location on diamond frames so it offers a lot of possibilities for variation. The design I prefer is the one here. I've built several frames with the same very clean modified fastback design.
Fitting up the stays. Some profiling still to be done.
The fairly complex shape that needs to be filed into the top of the seat stays.
Fluxed and ready to braze.
Brazed and cooling.
There, cleaned, filed and showing the finished brake bridge as well.
Added the front derailleur boss and two pair of bottle bosses as well. Next, on to the small braze-ons. Cable stops and guides.
