Learned a lot building this frame. The Mark II will be done differently.
For one my vacuum pump died, so I used tape. The next will be done in a vacuum bag.
Another change will be I will add filler to epoxy and will smooth the joints (such as around the seat stays and seat tube) before I wrap the lugs.
Other than the fact it's ugly nothing is wrong with this frame, it's perfectly rideable and I'll will build it up.

I'll post a pics of the bondo work as it progresses.
