Continuing the lightning-fast journey through the Thistle's construction, you now see no longer the fork bit, but two tubes and the bottom bracket shell from the main frame. The miters have been filed and sanded and ground to correspond to the curvature of the inside of the shell. Once the frame is completely brazed together, the little bit of extra downtube poking through will be dispatched.
