Thanks.
I attached chainstays yesterday.

Yes, I cut the crown up as well. I'm not sure I'm happy with how it turned out. Let's say my artistic side is under developed. Each lug has some adjustments and embellishments and generally I'm pretty happy with them but the crown just isn't what I was hoping for - no fault of the crown at all!

The Pacenti lugs (if that's what they are...?) were great starting points as they have lots of material to play with.

My next frame will be use bilaminate on all joints so, figured i'd get started here.

Just waiting on a tubing bender I ordered so I can shape the chainstays for the wishbone and then finish turning the brake mount studs and then braze ons.

Oh and Live Wire, I don't think I've seen anything that has been Weigle-ized that didn't look great. He's certainly an inspiration and his work something to hold out there to aspire to.

thanks again
