Current Projects chat and miscellany

Oh I was suggesting bilaminate as well as the mixture of fillet braze and lugs, just wasn't aware of the amount of work that is required for bilaminate construction.

One thing I like the most about the forum is being able to learn something new everyday.

still very purty though;

Aha, yep I thought that's what you were saying, but this:

Yep, Skully, I think Ed meant having lugs at the headtube and brazing at the seatube/toptube, for example.

... made me think I'd got it wrong. I know what you're like ed, don't I?!

What about Alex Singer frames? I naively thought they were "combinations"

Yes: Bilaminate joins look like a combintaion of a lug and fillet brazing: I was really just trying to say to ed that the proper term is bilaminate, and that although it looks like a 'lug' on one side, in fact that layer is over the top of fillet brazing, which have to be hand cut, and brazed on wrapped over one side of the join: so they're not 'lugs' in the sense that you can't buy them pre-cast. Basically this is only semantics: and yes they do look lovely. I think a lot of more down to earth frame builders wouldn't want to do it, and no doubt probably think you're a poser... I know that the NAHBS lot are into all that... maybe someone like Mather or demon would be more receptive to esoteric resquests like these. And it would cost you!
