Thought you guys may be interested in the Sport Classic frame I'm working on.

Nice work.


Where did you get the jig?

New pants.

I need them now.

I built the jig.

C'mon now - you had to know that he made it. The guy can weld Ti like a champ - a few bits of steel will present no challenge. 

Randy,
really, really high class work, makes my own feeble attempts in this direction seem generally embarassing.
I assume the quality comes not just from enthusiasm but also from a lot of professional experience (maybe the answer is in the monster frame thread, but I´m still working my way through that one...). The quality of those welds is a real joy to see

As I´m planning for a frame job of my own, but in steel tubing, I´d be interested in any hints about tube bending and tube end preparation (I think I´ve seen the expressions "fishmouthing" somewhere) you´d care to share.

I´ll be following this very closely, for sure

I'd be glad to help in any way. Shoot me an email if you want, stradafab@yahoo.com

I have just about all of the tubes tacked in:

is that going to be straight sport classic
or are you putting SS style rear suspension on it?

 It's going to be a straight Sport Classic. I never even thought about a SS rear suspension....

  LOL.....Thanks!

Always amazing when you post up the projects you're working on. 

So what sort of weight difference are you expecting with this frame?  What tube set are you using? Curious about the torsional/lateral rigidity compared to the stock steel frame.
