sure!

it's primarily columbus sp and spx. cinelli lugs. i did pretty much all the cutting and measuring, but eric did the torch stuff. i'm a machinist and wanted my hand in this as much as possible. i got the idea to gun blue it, sort of based on eric's copper plated bike. i love how the gun blueing didn't affect the silver or brass. it's not clear coated, but i may get it clear coated after eric clears that fork. i'm thinking of doing a light gold pearly clear.

this is town trim... i run miche pedals and 50:15 for racing.

side shots:



true temper bmx chainstays. these things are STIFF!!!!!1

he fillet brazed them to the bb, due to the angle of the original chainstay lugs not working with the bb height.

front:

i have to run a 22. that 23 barely rubs and i gave up filing.
