a few more pictures

here are a few more:
close up of the dropouts - just tacked in place. These will get full carbon wraps out to the blue tape.

Chainstays tacked in place - I mixed sawdust into my epoxy to create a super sturdy filler and joint. This need a bit of shaping before the carbon fiber wrap.

BB joint close up. My donor frames were a Surly cross check and a bianchi. Both steel.

Here is a frame builders question.
My chainstays are centered but my seat stays are not, due to a deeper miter cut on the overlap joint on the drive side. will this mess any thing up? it is about 1/4 to 1/2" closer on the driveside.
