Either I neglected to take photos during the fairly routine and unexciting tube preparation stages, or I determined that enough shots of such work existed elsewhere onsite- either way, here we arrive with the movie well underway, but you can pick up the story easily enough. After lots of filing and some grinding and a bunch of sanding and loads of preliminary fitups and dismantlements, the main frame with chainstays has made it through the tacking phase in the Bringheli jig/fixture, and is prepared here for the critical torching phase to finish brazing the joints all 'round.

The pipes are from True Temper, as is usually the case here at W'beest, and the lugs and bottom bracket shell are from Henry James.
