Very very good! You took a highly ambitious approach...using "pointed" drop out joints, concave seat stay caps, etc. That certainly is one of the nicest first-time-out bike frames I have seen! Congrats! Also, I haven't seen anyone build the whole rear end up like that before attaching to the main triangle (seat stays, chain stays and drop outs all pre assembled) Maybe others do that but I just haven't seen it done that way. Anyway, knowing your personal standards, I am not surprised, but you definitely lived up to my expectations! What color will it be?

It's handy to have some blank lugs for this kind of work. Haden made those (for standard size tubes) but they are no longer available in the marketplace and hard to find - especially the BB. If anyone has a set or two they would be willing to part with - I would be interested. I'd like to give it go sometime.
My resurrected life in cycling over the last few years led me to try my hand at building a frame for myself and I have recently completed it. I took it for its first significant ride this past week - it feels good and handles very nicely. Building my own frame has been a fun adventure and I am looking forward to future frame projects - although they will continue to come along at a modest pace. I've got ways to go in the brazing department but I think it will hold together.

I think this may be it, or part of it - Dale, is this what you were
thinking of?
