My profession has nothing to do with welding, I work as computer engineer, it was the first time that I was holding a burner. I did pin some of the lugs and tubes.
Finding a fast descent here in Holland is going to be difficult.
The ride is ok, just a bit more twitchy than I'm used to. I am satisfied with the frame as it is now.
I'm now planning my next frame, probably Columbus tubing with some nice long lugs, almost no braze-ons and a Shiamno AX group.
Hahaha, I should have considered your location, Holland, when I asked about a fast decent - stupid me!

Your next build, using Columbus will be interesting too. The AX group will be a classic. I hope you post photos of that build as well.
