Day 3 of the frame building.

It’s been below freezing every night and the camp site was way further away from town than I thought.

So I’m staying in a motel with Matt (who is on the course as well)

We’ve been drawing our frame blueprints, mitering tubes, practicing brazing with silver and bronze, filing. Koichi is a legend! his knowledge and experience is incredible. I will post pictures asap but there are world cup winning bikes everywhere here.

We’ve made brazed lugs, fork crowns, and tacked some tubes today. The frame is starting to take shape nicely.
