Time is becoming sparse leading up to the ACBS, have been working on a lot, but taking photos of little.
Got an image from the painter of one of the frames that I will be displaying. Here is a teaser:

Final alignment check. Fun with frame alignment metrics here.

Back in the fixture to check against the design specs. More info here.

Destructive testing!

TT/HT joint post test.
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8070/8...af0c77fe_c.jpg
Looking good except for one little void at the top of the DT/HT joint. That was a bit of a bummer. I also want to work more towards building a nice little internal fillet.

All in all the practice frame process has been super informative. I might just keep the next one...

Re: Friday PicFest No.192
Running very late this week. Dave W picked up his Stoater this week. We put the hours into this one. Beltdrive, Rohloff, internal dynamo routing, internal USB charger routing, Jones bars, 3 different front racks and machined fixings for lights and racks.
