cool thread :) As a builder of several cars I can appreciate the urge to get stuck in and pull it apart.

It's a bit easier than 5 linking a Cortina I can tell you.
 
Right frame is a now smaller 21" and it has some stops brazed on for the cables. Just need to do the stays now. I think the frame survived this long due to all the oil inside it (the fires out now);

Love it.

What is your brazing set up? Torch etc?

I use a Rothenberger Mapp torch and Silver Solder. The mapp runs about 100 degrees hotter than propane and melts 40% silver solder easily. It is hot enough to melt brass brazing rods but it's at its limits. Its not hot enough to break brazed joints though. I tend to use a combination of brazing (on dropouts) and silver soldering (for lugs).

Thanks for letting me know. All good to store for future reference.
 
How did I miss this thread? Arguably the most insane project seen here for sometime. Good luck!

AFTERTHOUGHT: How many Carbon frames say 30 years from now could be rescued from a tree and shrunk?

i take it this one's a keeper?

ever thought about buying something and NOT modding it? ha ha!!
