Frame Welding Done

The basic frame is all done now. Andy taught me how to do the welding, and I actually did the last several joints myself! Yea! It's so empowering to learn this. Here are my joints on the bottom rails and the new brake bridge on the fork.

I decided to add a bit of downward curve to the bottom rails where they join the bottom bracket. I like the graceful curve. :)

Next I have to weld the seat frame together and put the cover on it. I got the fabric already and it should be very nice. Next post is about my possibly clever seat support...
