Bringing a joint up to temp.

  • Bringing a joint up to temp.
  • Lee brazes in a sign support on his rack.  Shot through didynium glasses, without that you'd see a huge orange cloud instead of through the flame to the metal.
  • Adding brass.  Not shot through didynium glasses so you get a big sodium flare.
  • Alistair Spence rack jig (he showed me a drawing of it, I built it up this morning).  It holds the rack platform and the bicycle fork together at the right orientation.
  • A bit of 8020 in an H shape to hold the rack deck and some tubing and a threadless stem to hold the fork at the correct angle.  This is going to make holding things together a lot easier.
  • Lee's rack.  The street sign was purchased from the City of Seattle for $5.  Westlake is where the monthly Critical Mass and weekly Point83 rides start.
  • This is a big and beefy rack.
  • He plans on adding side rails and a couple of points for hooking the bungie cord.
  • Andrew brazing on the main stays for his rack.
  • This is Andrew's first rack and second day of brazing.  He is really getting the hang of it.
  • Andrew's rack.  It ended up a little lower than is ideal, but it still will work well.  If we had used the rack jig from the start that wouldn't have happened.
  • P1000281
  • The headlight is safely tucked away between the rack stay and tire.
