Setting up a jig with no reference points is sort of tricky. I think I’ve got the headtube in the right place but I’ll mitre the downtube, get that at the right angle and then be able to fine tune headtube height.
I didn’t consider any of this when thinking about how a jig would work but now I can see the benefits of having separate axis adjustments and built in measurements. It would help to have the bottom bracket in a fixed position rather than the rear axle but it’s all workable for now.
Right on, girlfriend strongly disagrees but wants me to succeed so she can’t have it both ways.
Sure thing.
Here’s a pic from before the cutting where I’d measured all my butts so I know where I’ve got space for cuts
I’ll document some more progress tomorrow
