Frame number 1

So first frame (not on a course). Fairly basic cromo pipes, in case it all goes horribly wrong, geared roadie frame to replace my slightly well used Kona Deluxe. Initial jig setup was done by putting the old frame in and building to that shape. I was desperately trying to curb the urge just to build something with enough practice and some level of measurement and design. Boy did I warm those tubes up though!
