Sometimes I think the universe decides when it's the right time for a new frame to be ready.
We finally got this one across the line.
Tim's new frame.

Things I've learned about bike fitting...
Get the bike fit before you buy the bike, not after.
Fitting on an adjustable jig is better than fitting on your own bike, if your bike is wrong there is only so far a bike fitter can adjust it.

Repair work complete on this frame:
In the first picture you can see the lugs that I modified earlier compared to the original chromed lugs - I think that's a good match?
