Jeff's 29er back from paint & soon to be sent off to Santa Fe, NM. nice orange!
the beginning makings of the rear triangle.
fast forward to the stays cut to raw length, slotted & spearpointed and chucked up in the fixture for brazing the dropouts.
a zero cleanup braze straight out of the dunktank. i've been using a different silver alloy and flux on stainless steel parts & i'm very happy with the results so far!
a nice tight fit all around all tacked up.
all bolted down for a thorough alignment check - very nice! this is gonna be a 26" wheeled MTB built around a 100mm travel Magura fork & it will be going to live in Texas.
just the seatstays left before brazing! i think that other then some packing and shipping & receiving that i'm gonna take the day off! i'm tired and my body hurts from some long days in the chair and i want to feel good for tomorrow as it will be the first opportunity for me to go hand cycling in quite some time. more later, thanks for reading & all your collective patience! Steve.

Steve,
I follow your blog alot because I really like watching what you build. I also like you showing what your listening to, but I can't tell who this one is....could you tell me this?
Thanks
Chris
Looks awesome Steve. Cannot wait for it to be finished.
Thanks for posting the pictures of the build!

yo, Chris: glad you like the guerilla music reviews! it's PJ Harvey, "rid of me" - stick that on youtube & check out the live solo clip of her doing that song at the big day out......Steve.
What a Beautiful these orange Coconinos!
