All polished up and looking good.

 Making ports for the internal wiring.  I think this position is the cleanest looking as the wire can follow the front brake cable to the handle bars.

 I shape and sweat the stainless steel washer on first and then drill and polish the hole and washer face together.  I believe you have fewer stress issues that way.

 And here is for the front derailleur.  Thanks to Mr. English.

 I wanted to post a couple of pics on the repaint.  But the Pearl White is so reflective it over powers the powder blue lug lining.  Even in the shade.

I haven't been gone, just really busy.  Along with riding as much as possible with Tina for our upcoming trip to Belgium, I painted Dylans frame.

 And built this set of 1400 gm. wheels.

And converting my frame to Di2 internal wire routing.  These mounts are the nice ones from Paragon.

Here is Dylans frame after etch and sanding prime.  Just a few little spots to glaze before the bright blue goes on.  I'll force cure it in the oven while Tina is at work, to speed up the process.  Unfortunately, my business credit card was hacked, so I hope I have enough paint.  Time to start removing the paint on my frame.

The rain bike frame goes back on the shelf for a bit.  Instead, I'm doing a repaint on Dylan's original CERNITZ cross bike.  At the same time, I'm going to convert my personal frame, that has been hanging in the Bikebar for ages, to Di2 and a repaint.  After adding water bottle bosses, I had Dylans frame commercially stripped.  While it was convenient, the two 70 mile round trips and 2 week lead time was more than I can take.  I will hand strip my frame in less than two weeks with out any driving.

I really like the way this frame is looking.

I'm going to shape the upper lug point to match the lower point.
