I've got stuff in the post. Most exciting is my new TIG pedal. Bad news is I haven't had time to pick up argon so I only have enough to tack my wife's bike up. I'll pick up gas Monday morning before work and hopefully be able to finish the frame Monday evening.
I've decided to try and reuse some Kona chainstays. My wife doesn't really need bigger tyres than 2.0 and I am pressed for time so hopefully this can speed up things rather than cutting new chainstays and designing a yoke. We will see about that :)
I cut out the shit chainstays (and examined the rest of the bike) and filled down the welds. The idea is remove the BB shell on the chainstay/BB assembly I cut out of a Kona frame years ago and re-mitre the chainstay BB junction. New chainstay look to be in good condition, but there is obviously risk involved using old chainstays instead of brand new ones. If the chainstays end up too short I'll chop and add a yoke design. But it will be nice to make everything look original.
