Then the frame is set up in our jig and coupling location is determined. Then any tubes that are being replaced are removed, and appropriate tubes that are being retained are cut to accept the torque couplings. Next the frame is removed from the jig and the couplings slipped over the tube ends. If any tubes are being replaced they are fabricated and fluxed up ready for brazing. Now the whole assembly is replaced in the jig, which, you recall, is retaining the original shape of the frame.
Couplings are now tacked, alignment is checked and then couplings are silver brazed.
This is a perfect time to have any braze-ons added to your frame. Then we do a final alignment. The rest is finish work and whatever paint options you have specified. As with everything that leaves our shop, the insides of the tubes are treated with a rust inhibiting product. Single bikes to suit your every need.
