  • With the turn of the seasons motivation to be riding outdoors has diminished and motivation to work on projects has increased. Plus I gave my track bike away in summer so really needed to get this finished. I pulled it off the shelf and dusted it off and realized really how little work was remaining so found of few hours over the week to get it done.

    First up brazing on then cleaning up the seat clamp and stainless dropout faces.

    These before pics also show the sculpting work I did on the dropouts and stay junction.

    And after cleanup and reaming the seattube, slotting

    And the last small wee job was brazing in the integrated headset cups

    Finished!

    Aber light it is not

    And from here it goes to the painters...he's been given a long leash but the rough brief is loud, bright and no tone-on-tone graphics...excited to see what he delivers!

  • And the last small wee job was brazing in the integrated headset cups

    Did these cups need reaming after brazing?

  • So long as the headtube they’re being brazed into is well faced and reamed so that the cups aren’t under tension there should be minimal distortion from heat, so in this case no
