Front frame assembly and welding

I've spent the last couple of weekends welding the front frame.  I have no jig, so I've had to align the various pieces using careful measurement, magnets and temporary spacers TIG tacked on. 







As usual, the distortions from welding have required a certain amount of bending and adjustment after welding, but I'm very happy with the final alignment and rigidity.

The front boom / BB mount and the 40x20 cross pieces are still too long and need to be trimmed.  I will also add brake mounts at some point - I'm still not sure if I will use a disc or v-brake as I had the wheels built to be able to use either.
