snoopy72:
I'm hopefully never going to have to get it welded.

rodriguez:
There is going to be a lot of side to side flex because of the wider BB, that's why I'd brace the sides too.

I'd reckon a gusset in the front will mean even more pressure on the sides.

snoopy72:
What about just the double brace from seatmast tube to bb, turning the large bracket clockwise inline with the downtube ?

rodriguez:
It would work but would you want that bolted to the frame   :-\

How likely is it that it'll break?, suppose that depends on how often are you gonna ride it? how much abuse is it going to get? etc etc

snoopy72:
Rather than rose joint you mean ? rose joint will only stop direct pull and will have movement on the bearings, it's supposed to be good for a frame to have some flex, I have the alloy parts I could even go from the centre of the front gusset (spacing it inbetween witha machined piece of acetal and join with 2 pieces of alloy bar down to the bb brackets, it's knowing where is the best place to strengthen, it's not goin to be doing big jumps or anything like maybe the od wheelie if my back has the strength to raise the front
