Chris Pauley built frames in Santa Barbara, CA back in the early 80's. You might want to correct the information regarding brazing material. The would be silver braze. Soldering is for electronics. >>

Brian, Please explain the difference...I do a bit of plumbing and invariably think of you frame builders when I sweat copper pipe with silver solder. (I also try to concentrate on not starting a fire or burning myself too badly with dripping hot flux!)
