More progress. And here it gets more interesting. Some might remember that I recently refurbished a pair of jigs from my past (that i came across and bought years after using them). This frame is the one that I decided to make with those jigs. The jigs don't have size, angles or other scales on them so the fit up is lengthy and a back and forth thing. Helping this go faster is that I used my Anvil jig to fit up the tubes and joints.
The tubes got mitered, the lugs manipulated and I drilled each socket for a pin in each tube. The two joint angles (the head tube ones) got set then i transferred the loose assemblage to the Cyclery North jig and did the move this and clamp that back and forth till all fit. As this jig doesn't have a BB support and I will tack the complete front triangle in it I wanted to insure an aligned shell. Hence the clamped on beam along the DT.
Here's a shot in the before final joint sanding and fluxing. Andy
