Quality of welding looks great & I can see a number of size 18″ frames, hoping to see a few of the get painted matt black in the next set of photos.

Can’t be far off a delivery date…

looking at picture 3, I thought the 2nd prong was redesigned to join with the chainstay as per http://www.shedfire.com/2009/04/24/sweating-the-details-on-the-bits-you-dont-really-see/#comments

These are the Ti frames, at Lynskey. They did theirs this way, we modified for steel and alloy as the materials require different treatment.

As I just twittered – there are funny issues with too much heat and stuff. Like gussetting ti – that’s a big NO apparently.

just loving this detail about the manufacture.
Don’t think I can spread butter as well as that down tube/BB weld.

Or how about trying to do nice silicone sealant beads around the bath. Nightmare!
