The tacked frame is then compared for compliance with the frame drawing. After brazing, each joint is checked for alignment prior to the brazing of the next joint. This prevents building-in stresses, and minimizes cold setting. After brazing, each joint is hand filed and polished, the braze-ons are added as specified, and the frame is prepared for painting. The head tube is milled and faced, bottom bracket threads are chased and final alignment checks are made.
Quality is always the primary consideration.
Finally, the frame is delivered to our custom painter, Rocky Rogers. He applies an etching primer and multiple urethane color coats with hand sanding between applications. The decals are placed on the frame and a clear finish coat is applied. We think Rocky is one of the best bicycle painters anywhere. Our experience has been that if you can imagine a paint job he can create it.
