Handcrafted Excellence, One Bike at a Time

Very Light Steel!

I am still trying to work through a couple of builds during the move. I don’t want to be too much behind schedual going into April. This is the beginning of an True Temper S3 road frame. Just for kicks I weighted out the tubeset before and after mitring. It appears I cut almost 200 grams off the medium size tubeset. The welds look particularly nice - it must be because I have been building so many titanium frames lately.

  1. Beauty welds Hugh - these light road frames have me thinking… but I really shouldn’t. Not for a year or two anyway.

  2. Hey Hugh..is that my baby I’m seeing in the womb?
