Despite all my chat about having time to think and plan on this frame I’m finding I haven’t actually done enough of it.
I’ve gotten concerned the area of the 2 top tubes and the seatstay wishbone meeting seat tube is going to be really busy and crowded looking, especially if I put these plates on every joint.
I don’t really know where I got this paranoia about just doing straight fillet joints to the seattube anyway so I think I’m going to use a tube with a smaller od for the 2nd top tube as that’ll mean I don’t need to add the plate there and then I’m still thinking about where exactly to bring the seat stay wishbone in.
