Hi guys.
When I turned around the jig to work on a few braze-ons like the threaded bush I made earlier...
I saw that the left chainstay is positioned a little higher than the right. Not much, but visible.
Seat stays and loops align pretty good.
So I'm thinking about the options:
A: Remove the loop and check again with a tool of sorts.
B: Remove only the chainstay connection and do that part again.
C: Leave it, since the shaft made the frame already 'asymmetrical'. Maybe I can add something to balance it out.

Little bit/hardly visible.

Just a thought; to add something, since there will be a dropout of sorts.
Maybe I have time to measure it tomorrow.
A little setback in time, but it has to feel right.

I'm working on some sort of tool to hold seat- and chainstay tubes. Also for future builds with simpler seat-chainstays. That way I can properly align them and check them. No need for tacking, just start with brazing. I can finish this tool next week. Maybe I should take it easy and do it right.
To do list:
-Brazing, aligning and more brazing.
-Cleaning the connections and the frame.
-Mockup and parts pile.
-Adapting the Dura Ace cranks.
-Disassembling, cleaning and refurbishing the shaft assembly.
-Final? Assembly.
-There is always more.
