Nice work on the frame!  Those long days can be a pain, but usually are well worth it in the end.

Nice work. Good to see a frame in that state being put back into circulation - somebody else may have just used that as an excuse to butcher it even more

nice work! Some nice beads laid down there! Nothing like striking an ARC!
I saved a nice stock frame someone cut the back tri's off of. Luckily I had a couple other frames. I made a jig on a good frame, I used battery box mounts, then transferred over to the one for welding, could not even tell! The new owner of the sold, titled frame was very happy!

You nailed it, as i was working on it i was trying to figure out the rhyme and reason behind some of the cuts, to figure why keep some things and loose others, it the exhaust that has me though, its perfect, not a blemish on it bar the back ends cut off.

 Ah but the difference is that you will have a running bike at the end of it all ,not a frame that will live in the rafters of a garage.
