Following on from the last post, the chainstays are brazed up. I've kind of cheated and only showed the finished shot, but in between they have a huge excess of brass on them which gets filed and shaped back to what you can see here.

Next step is to set up the frame jig to the desired angles. The recent crazy weather and extreme humidity has put a bloom of surface rust over the whole jig. Grr.



Bottom bracket and seat tube in place...



... and at the top.



Over the next couple of days the tubes and lugs will get loaded into the jig and all of the angles and clearances checked and checked again. Coming together...
