I just finished a thread showing the construction of a lugged steel frame. Might be of interest to those who are contemplating building their first.....

It's here;

Steve,
That is stunning.

Steve,
That is stunning.

Thanks.
I had as much fun doing the thread as I did building the frame.
And as you can see by some of the questions, lugged steel frames are a
mystery to most newer riders.

I posted in the other thread as well, but you have created a fine machine! And for that matter, a fine thread showing the process. You've inspired me to chase a long-time dream of my own sooner than I had planned. I need a sturdy rear-rack and this would be a great way to practice!

I've had the same thoughts of building my own frame. Just finished a smaller front rack for my Rando bike. Not too bad except for the additional sanding/filing for the lack of brazing skills. I encourage anyone interested to give a try.

Great frame btw.
