So the latest frame I’m working on is a fillet brazed 650b touring/commuting frame for our friend Michelle. It’s a tiny 34cm frame which looks to fit her perfectly. I’m very happy to have had some long brazing sessions this week as the shop is now at a brisk 45°. Just about time to turn on the heat. Here’s the progress of the frame so far.

  
  

Brian Fu’s frame is complete with the smoothest finish I’ve ever done. Here are some of the pics of the completed project and the slideshow of the whole process. Special thanks to Joseph Ng for volunteering to transport this frame halfway around the globe to Hong Kong!

 
 
 
 

I’m also in the middle of a repair on an old Viking. It has seen its share of repairs already with a downtube replacement and a sloppy conversion to a geared bike. Well, the hanger and brake bridge have been removed and the downtube has been replaced. A replacement fork was built and the Viking transfers are being hunted down. Here are the pics of the bike in progress.

 
 

I’ve also spent a bit of time in the paint booth on a bike for Echelon Cycle Works. This frame is dark green with black panels and little “-dB” logos all over it. Here are the pics of that.

 
 

And in the hopper is a small fillet brazed 650b frame and fork for my friend Michelle. The tube set is in hand and construction begins this week. Stay tuned for more updates.
