Hi guys,
I came across a bike standing in the bicycle shed at my employer. It looks like its professionally made and built.
To be honest, I can't really criticize it, since choices were made, I'm learning in regards to brazing and tastes may vary.
But I do have a few questions in regards to the lug/brazing connections:
Picture above: I see a lug and a tube + seat stays brazed on the lug. The brazing seems rough.
Holes or spots in the brazed connection. The brazed part is not finished with a file.
Columbus tubing.
Again: Spots and thick brazing.
Not saying its bad, it might be a perfect connection, but it seems quite rough for a factory frame. A customer seeing these connections might ask questions.
