Made some plates to house the lower pivot bearings
Fluxed and ready for brazing
The steel plates dry fit into the bike frame, bridging from the seat tube to the downtube
The backside of the plates is mitered to fit snugly between the seat tube and the downtube
Steel plate getting machined into a thinner plate. The remaining thick part will house the bearing.
I love it when things come together #steelisreal #BikeTooter #framebuilding
