The latest bit of madness to come my way is this fillet brazed speedway(?) frame.
Was bought off eBay by a colleague a year or so ago and he never built it. He is moving to another job so needs to clear out the stash of projects he has here.
Weight is about 2.75 fuck tons and it is sized for 26 x 1 3/8” wheels (though I fancy I can get a 700 in the rear of it if I move the seatstay bridge.
The current fork and crown race are not good friends (ie they ain’t ‘tight’) and there’s a quill to ahead converter stuck in the fork at the moment too.
I couldn’t help but do s bit of paint removal (the paint job is fucked anyway, lots of rust) to check it was fillet brazed and not ground down welds or filler.
