When turning titanium on a lathe
here are two things, which are a bit older (spring or early summer) but never published.
An Al CAAD 4 with a cracked CS. I normally don't do this sort of thing but this was a special favor for someone, who knows the risks.

The bonded joint of this Y-Foil got a bit soft so I completely rebuilt / overbuilt the area:

Practice frame #2 is complete. Came out pretty straight. The HT is within 0.1 mm of the ST over 430mm (length of HT checker bar). The rear wheel is centered and within 0.2 mm of the ST over its diameter. Time to cut it up and move on to #3.
New alignment check. Full size tables are sweet!

No BB brazing issues. Liquidy flux is a good thing.
