The very reason we do not like TIG welding for race cars frames makes it an ideal method of assembling bicycle frames. The heat is concentrated right at the held of the welder and it does not melt as much of the base metal. It the light gage tubing used in quality bicycles, this is a major advantage. As has been stated previously, with aluminum or titanium frames, TIG is the only realistic assembly method today.

Any of the three assembly methods can produce a quality bicycle. Individual preferences should decide.
