yeah, Because i dont have any brazing stuff, i had to tig the chainstays to the yoke, and i found the best way was to cut a rebate kinda thing on the outside of the cs. Was a bit awkward to get it a nice fit, but made the tig easier.
i then welded a little cap on the end of the cs afterwards

Looks really cool.
I'd have thought it'd have looked huge next to a tyre like that but you've really made it site nicely.
I'm about to build another fat tyre fixed so might take some inspiration from this. I've ordered mtb s bend chainstays but reckon it's still going to be toight in that area. I've got a Konga yoke brazed up that I was going to use on a frame repair but might see how it'll fit on this frame.

Is that the Konga 3" yoke? But you've curved the ends inwards and mounted the chainstays to the outside of it?
