Finally got to that stage of frame fabrication where I could prop it up and fit check it. Sitting on a bike project for the first time is an important milestone - it's no longer just endless work toward an impossibly distant goal - it's strong motivation to see it roll for the first time (Next milestone) and test ride it (Last milestone).
Normally, I tack weld the entire frame assembly together, fit check it during some stage of that, then finish weld it (Including capping open tube ends) when there's nothing left to add. This time, some tubes had to be trimmed, capped, and finish welded before continuing on with the next operations. So off the bench it came, work was done, and, well, there it is,
The primary frame structure is done now - time to finish connecting the dots with some triangulation. According to the scale, this frame looks like it will weigh just over half of the last one. The suspension is already done - still have to make the steering system before I have a finished roller. I have no idea when I'll reach that milestone, but it is that much closer to getting there.
