When I arrived yesterday morning Geoff the magic shotblasting pixie had blasted the flux off the joints I'd brazed the day before and, though I say it myself, it's looking pretty good.
There's a bit of brass to file off the surface of the lugs, but the shorelines look nice and neat. Yesterday I added the rear triangle and finished off the main brazing with the bottom bracket, which as ever took quite a while just because it's such a big lump of steel.
I did get a bit overenthusiastic with the brass at one point, and so the threads on the BB shell on the DS are a bit gold at the moment. It might be time to buy new cutters for my BB chasin'n'facin' tool.
I've also done the brake bridge, with some little reinforcement/embellishment plates.
I'm currently in the process of making up some Di2 entry ports from scratch using 18 gauge stainless sheet. Just a few braze-ons left to do, and I can start Frame #4.
