  • Do you ever use power tools?

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

  • Oh yeah, the stereo helps too.

  • 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.

  • Stay tuned. I plan to do a few more of these over the winter.

  • so whats the point of the mitre then???

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