It has details though there's no porn yet
Nah man, quite the opposite for me. I can easily go look up some swish brazing. What's more interesting is the progress and seeing people learn and develop. That's pretty cool, and massive salutes for going at this DIY style.
@chrisbmx116 needs to bloody well wait then. This'll be way more interesting than his rambling hunt in the gravel thread.

It has details though there's no porn yet. Its been a learning curve and the feeling of having something which is nearly rideable having had a box of tubes a few weeks ago is very satisfying.
This one has been literally brazed in my kitchen, it is remarkably straight for having been done with no jig or fixture, just by eye. Time will tell how it rides. Next one will be considerably better though I reckon.
Gonna put a jig together and bash out something else, maybe a gravel frame or just a single speed for ease, then after that for practise I might build @chrisbmx116 a commuter/all road/gravel thing if he's willing and brave
