It’s actually a brass tube brazed in with silver :)
Does look a bit more brassy in the photos but compared to the lug shorelines where it’s a really gold colour you can kind of see the difference.
Getting the tube in was a right pain since I assembled the frame before doing it. I knew it would be better to do it in the open top tube before brazing but my drill died and I was anxious to get the frame together.
Thanks chaps. It’s definitely not to the standard that I aspire to achieve but I’m happy enough for a first go. I’m pleased with how the cable routing came out considering I nearly didn’t go for the internal because of the difficulty but it was relatively simple in the end.
I need to get it reamed and faced then painted.
