URL isn't taking, maybe because it's inside facebook. If you search facebook for "Sepeda Balap Jadul Indonesia" you'll find it. Sorry.

I learned that it's less about not getting the joint too hot as it is having an even temp across the joint. Al Eisentraut use to tell a story about visiting Italian frame shops and watching while entire head tubes and a few inches of TT and DT get bright orange hot during the brazing, using either multiple tips, one large rose bud or a hearth type of set up.

Loved the video (with the sound off) the tooling required to get it done precisely and work this fast is also a revelation. Wow.

And yet still require manually wrenching everything into line after and doing so much hand detailing after. I imagined it would all be mostly machines.
