thanks for the feedback everybody . the consensus from info here and the Framebuilders sounds like crimping your own bike could be considered but not a bike being passed on to someone else. some bikes with thicker tubing it's been done at the manufacturer and is prob ok. and dimpling steel before brazing is less risky than after bike is complete
