This past weekend was filled with finishing touches including dimpling the chainstay for chainring clearance, fillet smoothing, fork tip shaping and filling a few pin holes with silver.

My dimpler in action: It was pretty fiddly but, once I inserted a small piece of rod in the inner dimple and a sleeve of half round from an old chainstay, it worked pretty well:


The results:




I like filing fork tips to a point to make front wheel installs easier/faster:




Tomorrow, I will drop these off at the powder coater. Then I should have 2 weeks to get decals printed and the rest of the build kits received. The final step will be building these things up! I'm stoked to finish this up.
