Still a bit of finishing off before I get it sprayed, but fairly happy with my first ever attempt at brazing and hand mitring anything let alone a bike frame.

Day 5, the end! of frame building
Big thank you to Dave Yates for the course this week. Bit more finishing off at home,, then get it sprayed and built up. I'm going to build my own wheels, not sure what hubs yet but going to put them on Mavic Open Pro CD rims. Groupset is going to be Campag Chorus, Ritchey Classic bars, stem and seatpost. I'll post more pictures once i've built it up

All braze ons added today, then a lot of filing and now could do with a back massage! Tomorrow will be tidying the frame up then homeward bound.

Day 2 of frame building course with Dave Yates
Day 2 and things are starting to resemble a bike frame.
I've never done anything like this before, first time i've brazed and all the joints i've hand cut, filed and mitered, which i've never done before, things need cleaning up but really happy with how things a looking.
