With Gregs bike nearing completion, I thought it was time to show Brodys whip some love.

 The seat stays are fully silver brazed in.

 Working on  the bridge. This tubing is actually smaller in diameter than the seat stay. Doesn't look like it in the pic, though. The bend is too acute, I'll bend a smoother one tomorrow.

Fitting up the canti bosses. And as always, thank you Don Ferris for your beautiful stuff!

The color sanding and buffing out the nibs,etc. is done.

Time to start the frame saver and assembly, unless Greg wants to do his own component build. I already put on the rear caliper, couldn't stop myself.

The Blue and first coat of clear is on. I put the decal this morning and it went swimmingly! I will let it dry over night before I start sanding for the second coat of clear. I want to make sure there no moisture entrapment under the decal.

 The white is on and masking for the black.

 The bands and logo are finished.

Norwegian Blue.

After spending a couple of hours detailing Gregs frame set prior to putting on some color, I started fitting up Brodys seat stays.

 These are 14 mm taper seat stays. I'll finish the fitting as soon as I have the brakes, so I can insure pad alignment.

Mark from Roseburg dropped off this fine old FUSO built by Dave Moulton. I just dropped it off for strip, derust, and media blast. It will be refinished in a period correct livery.

I picked up Gregs frame from media blast and applied a coat of etch primer.

 It was just laying there, so I thought I would take a pic.

 While I was waiting for the media blasting and custom color matching, I got Brodys front triangle and chainstays brazed up.

 The old dropout alignment check on Brodys frame.

 The post soak patina caught my eye.

 Starting to set the fixture up for Brodys frame. 72.5', just what the doctor ordered.  

Mitering some tubes.
