The continuing saga of the 650B mixte

The mixte I started over two years ago is almost finished.

From Latest projects

Why did it take so long? It took a long time to source suitable parts i.e. the lugs, tubing for the lateral bars. In the end I scraped the parts together and got going. This frame was almost entirely brazed with brass using acetylene and not propane as I used to. I'm particularly proud of what I'm calling the "knees up" bridge connecting the seat tube to the lateral stays.
