Keep forgetting to update this thread.
Been building my mate a frame recently. Gravel/winter fixed. 35s and guards in winter, 38s in summer.
He was down for whatever and I fancied doing another lugged frame. It's been good honing my skills with the silver. Had to find some creative ways to work with the lugs that are available too. Things like sleeving a 28.6mm steattube into lugs that are fora 31.8mm tube so that parts are interchangeable between this and a frame he already has without having to deal with shims.
Had to do some setting of the chainstay ports on the bb lug so that I could use cx bend stays to get the tyre clearance he wanted.
On a slight hiatus while I wait for another set of seat stays to arrive as I kinked the first ones trying to cold set a wishbone seattube lug in to 120mm spacing.
Got achance to use my hydraulic dimpler on this too, that was fun!
