Framebuilding day 4

Pressure's really on today."Just" the chain and seat stays to do but they need serious fettling to fit properly.



Gert gobs of brass and flux to clean up later :(

More brass more pink icing more filing more coffee to get those hands shaking! And then it nearly looks like a bike...

Bottle bosses plumbed in. Very thin tubes here so careful with the torch Eugene.

Seat stays - mucho filing and swearing. Note high tech strap to hold them in place.

Last job of the day - chain stay bridge. Almost an adequate braze there. I may quit while I'm ahead.
Bit of cleaning up, using traditional Black & Decker power tools

Listening to 2009 remastering of Loop album The World in Your Eyes.  Wah Wah tastic!
