New and old BIKES BY OTHERS!!!!

Bending - put the bender in the vice....   Cutting for a bell cup.

  

Open the 'bell'.   Fit the bells loosely on the frame stubs.

The 5 degree bend helps align the new rails and the old back stays.

Step back - side view?   Rear view?   Does it look good?  All aligned?  all even?   NOW - weld braze at the downtube stub (near that clamp).

  

Close the bells - heat them red hot, close and wrap with pliers around the stubs.   Leave no gaps.   You are 'making' a lug here!

Clean it, flux it, then weld/braze it.   This completes the basic frame assembly.
