The problem is that i bought all the dowels for the frame kiln dried which sets the lignin in the wood (the stuff that makes it flex) It cant really be unset by water thought water can soften the wood itself a little.
Made a jig for the slight S shape in the chainstays. Hopefully the curves are gentle enough to bend the dowels but i suspect i may need green Ash for that too :(

How early? VC8s were around in 82/83. ELF blast bars were much later but have no bends but would look out of place.

This project has been taunting me in the corner of the workshop for too long now. This afternoon I decided it was about time I did some more. 2 hours of polishing, sanding and repolishing and I finally got one side of one dropout to the finish needed to be plated :)
