Detail of down tube/bottom bracket brazing. Seat tube and chainstays were previously brazed to the B.B.

Marco's frame in progress. Rear wishbone triangle, previously brazed complete with topstay/wishbone/seatstays, is now ready to braze to the back of the seat lug and to the dropouts. The mitre angle between the seat tube and the top stay has been determined directly from the Marchetti brazing fixture and the topstay cap was mitered and then brazed to the topstay. All that remains is to silver braze the topstay binder to the back of the seat lug and the seatstay tips into the dropouts.

Detail of the topstay binder and seat tube/seat lug from the rear.

Pic of the rear triangle ready for brazing the topstay binder to the seat lug and the seatstays to the dropouts.

Marco's frame completed.
Dummy headset installed on the Enve fork as a check on design. Off to paint tomorrow.
