Post by: Gizmo on July 31, 2014, 08:43 PM

Been Meaning to put these on for a while  ::)
Here's a few pics only take a min to scroll through , but took about 2hrs to braze up .
Pictures don't do it justice .

It's always the same routine brazing frames for Brian curtis
Start with
Rear drop outs
Bottom bracket
Seat post
Head tube
Forks ...

Enjoy .... Ohh last pic is my brazing  :LolLolLolLol:
