Hey guys,
I got two donor bikes today to begin the process of building my first ever tall bike. After looking over one of the donor bikes, I realized it says the frame is cromoly steel. I've read from a few folks that welding cromoly steel is not easy. I'm a first time welder and have always wanted to learn to weld/do basic fabrication and was hoping this tall bike would be a great way to learn. Is this something I can do, or should I trash the frame and look for a different one?
Thanks in advance guys,
Tim
