JRA Continued

To be brief- I was unkind and anything but gentle to that poor frame. Results indicate that tubular steel structures really are ridiculously strong.

Coup de grâce-

A cross section of the upper head tube lug. Clean filler penetration from tip to lip here (the thin silver streak between the lug and the tube). Check out flikr for a nice internal fillet shot from the same joint.

In other news I just started work on a his and hers set of town bikes. His will be a twin top tube paper boy (ala Hawthorne) and hers a step through. Tubes are on their way as we speak, and I'll be finishing up bilam pieces in the meantime.
