new stays and some file work...fork too





Still have alot to learn about brazing! This crown was different than the previous two, the shoulders were not hollow cast. Plus the steerer I chose is way beefy at the crown end. I think that I am trying to braze at too low a temp... so worried about frying stuff that a proper pre heat is not reached and I fry anyways!
Dissimilar masses are always tricky but I got it flowed.

Yanked 'em because the spiggots of the drops were not perpendicular to the seat stays. Retry to do proper coming up.... once I get the shipping from Nova. More later..

stays





ready?





Sunday

Have not installed forward facing forged tips before and missed the angle to the stays by a little. They match though and are solid. They dont look toooo bad, just off a little... Cant change 'em now.


Chopped stay ends ready to fit. Plus a shot of the blade in the cut crown. Gonna clean up a bit more. The fork will happen later. Working on the frame today.
