My build is getting close to starting now - I don't work fast..
Frame design is pretty much sorted and I have also designed a jig based on the Arctos one but simpler to make.
I have ordered materials to build the jig and am finalising what parts and tubes I need to order to build the frame.
I am going to build lugged in steel and use System 48 Silver Solder and flux.
Would it be problematic for a beginner like me to mix a few stainless parts into the frame. The bits where the paint always gets chipped and rust sets in. The rear drop outs, front mech hanger and cable stops, Everything else to be non stainless.
I will be using socket type rear drop outs with Columbus Life stays and if possible the System 48 Silver.
Thanks - Mike
