First carbon frame build almost complete. Here is a sample of random photos along the way for the 100th.

I've been a bit nervous about posting with you all. The work on FNL is definitely what I aspire to. Couldn't sit out round 100 though.

A little pre-NAHBS part making.

I can't remember if I posted this or not. Number two shortly before finishing, wanted to make sure I got the clearances right. This was my attempt at an all-rounder, and my first 650b bike. I got it in my head that I also wanted to make sure it could run 700c wheels if I wanted. The frame has now gone off to paint.

It's a 57 square with 6 degree slope, so actual ST is something like 54. Angles are 73 parallel, drop is 68mm, stays are 417mm, so it should be a good compromise that works well with either tire size. I used Dazza's lugs and a basic Deda cro-mo tubeset, as this bike will be my "beater" for riding to the store (hence the braze-ons, next project is building some load-carrying racks) and riding with my kids. Unfortunately, I have no idea how it rides...I thought about building it up and taking it for a ride sans paint, but there was a couple of feet of snow on the ground and the roads were still icy.
