Those shots of the flux on lugs has really nailed it home that I have not been using enough flux on my test pieces.

Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome atmo.

Just gotta say your bit of writing on picfest 262 was spot on!

these pics have inspired me to try a massive attack with the flux next time. I won't stop adding flux till it looks like the joint needs a shave...

Is it the pin, that we see the round of brass filed just below (above) the boss for the cable adjuster?

Yes atmo.

You may have been asked 100's of times already; but I haven't worked on a RS frame AND a small one.
Why the cable adjusters on the HT? They do work very well on 53-54^ frames, IMHE always found on smaller frames the adjusters/stops too close, with consequent short cable outer (=could be stiff/problematic). Would like to hear your opinion about.

My opinion is that they are not a problem on any size atmo. Focus on the casing lengths,
or where they exit the handlebars, or both. Most bicycles I see pics of have way too little
casing anyway. Okay - must get back to the shop now. Thanks.

This is where the crossover method works well, IF needed.

Sharp.

Hey Richard,

I was just wondering what your thoughts are with regard to brazing with brass versus silver? Is there really any advantage to using silver?

Hey Richard,

I learned "on brass" and using those HUGE torches and flames we still see in old pictures. I like brass better still. But I self-taught myself silver brazing (56 percent) by about 1978 and have stayed there. My procedure is still brass-like in that I use long, loud, big flames that many would consider to have too much heat and volume.

The only advantage a brazer has is skill and control; the filler material is of little consequence atmo.

Thank you for the reply Richard.

More personal question. Why tassel loafers vs penny, black vs burgundy? Was it a Peddie habit?

Good question atmo. In retrospect, everything in my life is a Peddie School habit. My guess is that the shoe style (the tassels
and color) was selected based on choosing the margins over the mainstream. The fashions may have changed, but I haven't.

Richard, have you been building some UOS bikes besides the one you did a while back ?
