Steve- Thanks for the props but I don't think "a lesser builder" is the best description of those who fillet. If then for no other reason in that nearly 1/4 of my meager life production has been filleted and most of the last 15 years worth. I chose to make my own to be able to say I did, as well as play with aesthetics a bit. It's been said why make something you can source already done and I generally agree. Unless there's some aspect that can't be found in a production item or you have a bit of an ego...

The frame these are for now has the chain stays attached and the seat stay tops mitered. Having gotten this far I felt it time to cut up the first attempt frame (the one that I did a boo boo on) and recycle a couple of the parts. So the frame pictured in post 26 is now in pieces, it's fork will transfer to this new frame though, along with the kick stand plate. Andy
