How do you taper the chain stays? or if you get them like that, how do they do it at the place they make them ?

@paulmathus That sucks, I have a BSA prima made in Birmingham from reynolds 531 tubes, I picked it up in great condition for £50 and its a solid amazing bike i love it. See if you can find one.

I have an electric coffee maker that I'm pretty fond of. But for the frames I use only hand (and sometimes foot) power.

My new old 531 steel road bike got stolen last week. Looked around for something comparable but I decided I'd rather build my own. Been doing some research and you're bikes are beautiful and the two videos you have posted are superb. I see this one was posted 7 months ago. Hoping you got another one on brazing technique coming up soon so I can see it done before I try it myself. Thanks.

Tight, accurate miters (or "copes" or "notches") are the foundation for strong, reliable joints.
