Finished brazing on the Crescent project. Big !thank you! to scarlson for all the tips on brazing and the "go for it".

Next steps are paint prep. First is the filing and sanding of the lugs. It's pretty obvious that Crescent didn't clean off the lug's rough casting marks. They just put on a ridiculously thick coating of paint to cover the total lack of handwork. Cleaning up their messy brazing around the fancy lugs is stupid, but I guess I enjoy it.

The seat stay caps are so deeply scored (by the factory gorillas, the rips were under the paint) that I'm concerned about filing through in places. So they'll get a coat of Bondo.
