Take one set of tubes...

Does this mean the Gios will take longer to build?

I'll wait. :)

The GIOS Build is still very much alive. I've got most of the parts I need to finish it off, and I need to de-sticker those rims!

Spoke with a couple of people from BOC today.

I now have their pricing structure (which is very complicated), and I have the necessary forms to open an account. I will fill them in, and send them back tonight.

I am almost touching gas!

Are you doing this in your shed?

Yep.

good stuff!

Are you profling the edge of the filed tube so it snugly fits around the head tube?

Awesome! I've just turned 40 and was considering having another go at learning to build a piano...
fify

Saw some practice lugs on the bay. Hang on......nope cant find them. Cheap with a fork crown as well.

Yes.

This thread is fueling my welding lust. Darn it.

A* stuff.

Often had a casual thought of doing this and looked at a couple of courses so great too see all the info and progress in one place-cheers!

I had real trouble with BOC, give air products a call, they were much more helpful, were perfectly happy to sort me out with just a pair of 80KG bottles. PM for the number if you want it.

Thanks for this. I'm going to soldier on with BOC for a bit. Partly because I have already invested time and effort with them, and also because they have a branch close to where I live.

BOC's charging structure sure is complicated though...

solder on for a bit?

clearly in a state of flux

Seems like they are brazenly unapologetic for their poor service history.

They clearly don't fillet's important to look after their customers.

File a complaint!

They had best tread capillary to avoid losing business.

Tell them to you don't like the set of their jig.

and if they keep treating you like a stupid lug you'll set a torch to them.

Show them your face, chase them down If you have to. It mitre be the only way to ensure a full service.

sounds like they're being an arc

Socket to the fuckers and give them a few new joints!

give them a coupler of good solid belts, drive them away.

fillet the fnckers!!!
