Bike frame build update: I made some solid progress on two quickly converging paths this weekend: 1. Nearly finished filing the front triangle tubes at the junctions to meet neatly exactly where I want them. The proportions of the tubes and BB junction are looking good. The big headtube is proving tougher to get right but i still have a little metal to work with 2. Figured out a way to use some extra extrusion to extend my back triange jig to hold the seat tube, down tube, and head tube. Still a work in progress and will need lots of adjustment but doesn’t seem to take much to hold these lightweight tubes Things are coming together and it’s starting to finally look like a real bike. This might work 😈 I’m stoked!

Filet brazed steel. This seemed like the easiest and least expensive path to start with.
