i'm not a framebuilder, but i pretend to be one when i wear my True Temper shirt under my Lincoln Electric Red Line welding jacket.

I did finish building up this bike - which many of you were very helpful in offering advice when I was brazing on the rack bosses, bottle bosses, and DT shifter bosses.

So far it passed Test #1 : braze-ons did not fall off when I attached racks, cable stops
and Test #2 : braze-ons did not fall off when I biked to work with the bags lightly loaded

Now - wrestling with how to ask my wife to let me go to Doug Fattic's bike build class....
