So, basically, the front triangle is fitted into the jig and all of the tubes have been pinned in place.
Head-tube pinned up and almost ready to go.
Seat cluster pinned up.
Yeah baby - angles are dead on.
Next steps: pull it all apart again, clean the tubes and lugs inside and out, flux them up and put it all back in the jig. The front triangle should be brazed up over the weekend. Getting there.

Is that a Dazza lugset? sloping top tube? I love the seat lug.
Thanks, Wil
I can't remember what Dazza calls it, but yes it is the 'standard oversize' version of the sloping lugset, not the over-oversize version if you know what I mean. The TT is supposed to slope 6 degrees, but that's with a 72* head angle. This is running a 73* head tube, so the TT slopes a degree less. The seat lug is nice - plenty of real estate for mitering to the back of the lug. I probably could have carved it down a little given that I'm attaching the seat stays to the side, but I left it pretty much stock.
