Maybe it's not clear in the pics, but I have little problem. The curved top tubes do not quite reach the rear dropouts. They reach, but I'd have to attached them at the 'swaged' portion of the tube. Not ideal, I think. I need another half inch.

Option 1: Shorten the wheelbase a half inch. Not the geometry that I wanted. But, would still work. Just need a little longer stem. This isn't a race bike, so that's not the end of the world. I have to reset the headtube on the jig. Again, not the end of the world. It's a very flexible jig after all.

Option 2: 'extend' the curved tubes with an external sleeve. This feels like much more of a hack to me. Maybe if I made the end of the sleeve decorative, it might work. But, I'm still not liking it.

Option 3: Scrap these tubes and make my own. Well, I really wanted some part of this bike to be 'vintage'. No real explanation as to why. But, I'd prefer to use these tubes if at all possible.

So, I guess that leads me to option 1...
