Progress being made! I have now got everything for framebuilding, finally sorted some gas out about 2 weeks ago and im good to go. I couldnt get quite as large a bottle as i had in England but thats ok, still pretty large. Interestingly gas bottle rental is way cheaper here, which is nice. I did have to buy a new argon reg as the bottle outlet is different.
So with that sorted i cracked on with bits and bobs on the hardtail, ive got the front end fitting very nicely, brazed bottle bosses and reinforcing rings on the headtube. Today I welded the seat collar into the seattube and dropouts to chainstays. Next up is mitering the chainstays and then welding the whole thing together. Its great to be back to it, it felt so far away for a while.
