Yippy!!! to finish the frameset. Being the chronic knucklehead that I am, I forgot to order a steerer tube. This one was made the hard way... It started life as a 1" solid bar of 4140. lots o' chips! anyway.. the big ass post in the back of the fork jig is to hold in the vice. eventually I will modify it to fit a duty made, multi purpose floor mounted post. It can rotate 180 deg. to make the best of gravity. I might make anouther after using this one. The plate is good, I just dont know if I have enough travel in the drop bracket to do all needed rakes. The bending jig has two radii.. 13" and 15". that is easy to change ( make a different base ).. I just created a curve based on the plans for this one frame. Stops will go into the "V" groove for consistency.
