It's a big day today with the completion of the first frame. Simon and Stuart (the welders) have done a great job with the TIG welding over the past few weeks to get it to this stage and we can finally see the realisation of the CAD model.
All in it takes 63 components to build this, with most tubular joints seeing a 360 degree weld, so its taken a few hours to weld in the jig and then on the workbench.
Now that we have reached this stage, many other pieces should start to fit in place as the delay in having the frame finished has created a bit of a backlog.
It's time to get building a bike!
That's really quite lovely.
