I went down stairs with a big cup of stumptown coffee this morning and didn’t come up until 10 pm. Just through the ipod on shuffle and went to town.
A sweet new toy arrived in the mail today along with some Henry James dropouts and a seat lug for Alana’s fast tourer. I carved up the lug to match the Bikini lugs on the bike, added a nice little touch at tghe bottom. Got the top tube brazed in and and aligned the bike. I also brazed in the dropouts and mocked up the fork in my fork jig. This thing is going to be sweet!
My new toy is a Henry James brake boss jig. This little masterpiece of design will save me loads of time positioning cantilever bosses and brake bridges.
Even if you don’t build bikes, Henry James has some good info.
A good day in the shop
