Thanks for the suggestion Fred, I've just posted a few photos of the seat stay treatment which may be found here:

A couple clicks and the image will enlarge to around 800x600 or may be downloaded to full size... (I think?).
Just very simple but very cleanly prepared - I wish all of my bikes were so nicely brazed and finished.
