Getting ready to ship this one out to California. Will be posting pictures of the complete bike this week. #framepump #icegreenmetallic #fenders #leverlink #chapmancycles

I’ve been getting a few shakedown miles in on this one mainly to test the brakes. They work well but I’m not certain I’ll make any more. Famous last words. I will be taking some studio photos of it soon. #lugs #bicyclerack #chrome #handmade #chapmancycles

Seat stays are on and this one is in the home stretch...sort of. Still some braze-ons and finish work to do. Polar vortex is en route so we’ll see how long I last in the cold shop tomorrow. #seatcluster #silverbrazed #pacenti #pointy #lug #chapmancycles

Putting the stainless caps on the seat stays. The frame is off of the alignment table and these will be going on next. #silverbrazing #stainless #metalworking #filing #chapmancycles

These are the carved Pacenti head lugs that complement the seat lug that I posted last week. The frame is together now but I still need to get to the seat stays, bridges, braze-ons, etc. It’ll all come together in time.

Internal cable routing consists of a brass tube and stainless reinforcements. The hole is just hand drilled and filed oval. I’ll braze the stainless piece on first and then fit the assembly into the tube. #bicyclebuilding #brass #chapmancycles

No shortcuts in making these racks. Finishing them up today after working on them through the weekend. The fork conveniently doubles as a rack fixture as well. #bicyclerack #filletbrazed #4130 #chapmancycles
