=== === === thanks for setting the record straight; now i understand the bar of quality you're trying to stay above. you sold a guy a frame on which you've discovered a brazing error in the bridge placement and you rectified it, re-brazed in another one, and passed it off as a "new" frame? i could not conceive of ever rebrazing a joint, or replacing a bridge on a frame without considering it a "repair". iow, that kind of stuff is unconscienceable (sp?). how you can endorse this as "acceptable" while commenting on the standards of another's metalwork is, well, beyond me.
