The Bicycle Academy

The Bicycle Academy: day four

Carousel short title: 
Bicycle Academy day four

Last day, and the big one: time to knuckle down and braze the frame proper. Well, nearly time. First there's a good deal of scrubbing of flux and filing of the tack points to make the final brazes as neat as possible, given the limited skill I've acquired from three days of intensive learning.

The Bicycle Academy: day three

Day three, and back to the torch. Well, after the small matter of making the chain stay and seat stay bridges, the last two bits of the bike to fabricate. The good news: they're only to hold a mudguard, so there's a 1.5mm tolerance for the position. The bad news: no mitre guides, no help. Just a drawing of the frame, some files, a hacksaw and a ruler.

Framebuilding with Pegoretti

Earlier this month 17 participants were selected from all over the world to take part in the Dario Pegoretti “Tornemo indrio (Back to the roots)” workshop organised by Onirica Lab at Interzona in Verona, Italy. Thanks to the magic of twitter and my poor handwriting skills I was lucky enough to be one of them.
