Here's my first frame project.
First of all I would like to thank Kris from the 44 Bikes for the help with the jig!
Rattlecad drawing of the frame, 29er with shortish chain stays with offset seat tube. The front triangle is Reynolds 631 .9/.6/.9 with externally butted 32.7/33.1mm 30.9mm ID seat tube, Dedacciai 29er stays and Paragon dropouts.

Here's a couple of shots of the jig

Next job is to braze all the braze-ons and then to weld the front triangle and chainstays.
TT .9 butt lengths are pretty short and I would like to know if there's any problems with brazing cable guides to butt transition area?
Not sure yet how I will do the chain stay miters, I have plans for the jig but it will not be ready for this frame. Most likely I have to file them but I'm little bit concerned about how they will turn out without the templates.
