Rather intense session today trying to get the rest done before the deadline (getting home in time for xmas eve dinner) and I got 95% there.
Brazed up the rest of the frame and did the first rough pass cleaning up the fillets. Didn’t take any “off the torch” photos as they were not the prettiest (definitely not living up to the standard I set for myself when I was actively building). Again, the 2 year hiatus made itself known.
Also managed to face the flat mount insert in my special fixture. Looks like it worked out well.
Test fitted a wheel with a 2.6" Vittoria Mezcal, dropouts all the way forward. Clears the tyre and the rear end is straight (always something I fret about). Though I will only run 2.4" tyres on this bike.
All that’s left now is the final beautification of the fillets with some emery cloth, cutting the ST slot, and finally the reaming, facing and thread chasing.
