successful failure

First attempt was all wrong. well mainly the BB shell. did not lock it down and its out. No way to move it as its very well brazed. Maybe it can be, I don't know. That was the main goal. to braze. Lots of fried flux later I now feel comfortable running a torch. Geometry was wrong as well as tube lengths. So pouring morte resources into a wonky frame seems a pointless endeavor. Missed the lengths by very little but the differences were enough. On to the second try!!! more specific fixturing and a much better understanding of whats what. Stay tuned. W
