My custom steel fillet brazed

as some of you might know i'm loving steel
This is my first fillet brazed steel frame
The ideia is to built a bike with a steel frame with a carbon 1' 1/8 forks and set it with a compact road handlebar and low rims wheels.
I think this will be a perfect bike for long rides.

the frame still needs a lot of work
the fork will not be this one.
It will have a Chris King headset (i hope)

Brill looking bike!

Looks like it will eat miles for breakfeast! very nice

now with a track carbon fork ;-)

i can't wait to test this bike

Really?

Another one? You are killing me with all these bikes!

I have to go to Gafanha and put some of them on my car :)

Nice one!

Have you allready choose the colour?

i love to ride fixed gear bikes and i love longer rides!
The bike that i use to do that is not as friendly as i like to my back and shoulders.
This one will be perfect for that ;-)

please come to Gafanha and we'll ride two of them

i have the wheels ready

now i must think about the color of the bike
any ideias?

very nice clean frame !! fair play to you !

i tried the wheels with my other bike (just to feel the wheels)

Lovely bike. What seatpost is that?

it's nothing special
can't remember the brand of it. It's a carbon seatpost. I removed the brand logo. I prefer it like that. I'm thinking about doing the same thing with the fork

still thinking about the paintjob for it

Love this. As its all black components... any color will suit really. I would personally go for dark blue or purple to contrast your orange road bike. Something with sparkly bits in too.

hummm! i'm trying to imagine it with dark blue... ;-)

Orange to yellow fade :

i looooove that paintjob hugo7 but i also have this one

i know that it's not the same fade but...
the ideia is to make something like you said but with different colors

Maybe just this once, paint it with matching fork?

More choice;

i must try to decide it before i buy the headset. Well, maybe i'll go for the Chris King but i must choose the color... my wallet will decide that
i know that a black Chris King headset will fit any paintjob...

but i'll make a degradee paintjob.
It has a carbon fork but i think i'm going to paint it too

Choose the paintjob first, then headset later.

yeap! That's the plan

finally i bought the Chris King headset

now i just have to make the color for the frame. I'm thinking (nothing for sure) about a silver/gold and playing with that...
Eh eh eh! It can go very wrong : )

Love the orange to yellow fade on co-motion.

black with that headset,

matte black.

glup!!!
today was a paintjob day :P
i think it will look great but i'll have to wait until tomorrow to be sure about it. I must see the frame with the sunlight.
One thing i know for sure. It will be very hard to show (with photos) the real look of it.
Sometimes it seems gray, other times blue or silver... and a bit golden too

Photos please!
