Started things off with some tube holding blocks. This thing rules.

Local FB Marketplace has been good recently. Picked up a drill press this week on the cheap. Just being able to make consistently straight holes feels like a huge unlock for the jigs I’ve been making, but thinking maybe I can get this thing cutting rough miters in thin steel tubes too! First some cleaning 🧼

So clean! Love the mango anodizing. All around the proportions are incredible. That integrated cockpit and oversized pulley are especially πŸ”₯How does it ride?

No AC and it really struggled over 45 or so.

Frame building update: I’ve planned all along to flip this down tube with the taper facing out, but now it’s go time and I’m wrestling with it. It’s really meant to face the other direction, with the pointy side up, based on the principles of aerodynamics I guess, but I think it gives a nicer finish at the BB upside down and makes bottle bosses easier to mount on a wider, flatter edge. I can’t imagine it makes much difference in terms of stiffness on oversized tube like this, but will it look weird? πŸ€” What do you think?

Bike frame update: Finally found a solid way to scribe a good, round reference line for this aero down tube to bottom bracket junction. Roughed in a cut with a hack saw and filed a bit but wanted a better reference line for filing before I went further. My original cut paper method was too flexy. Refined my DT fixture for a more secure, reliable center position and a bent piece of sharp bronze brazing rod etches into marker well enough on steel. More filing scheduled for this weekend!
