After brazing the joints, soaking and scrubbing off the spent flux, and cleaning things up a little bit, here is what we have- the main triangle of the frame, with chainstays attached. The rear dropouts were brazed in earlier, in this case nice Henry James stainless steel investment cast drops- the fork (which somehow escaped being photographed during its build sequence) also sports stainless steel dropouts- which add a little extra blingy shininess and durability to the frame.

Sorry about the dimness of the photo- it had been a long day in the shop, and I just wanted to snap a picture before stopping for the day.
