Hardtail pictures:
Keep in mind that I am NOT a welder.
P.S. A lot of the fresh welds are simply fill passes to fill in gaps so the welds look cleaner when I grind and paint. The intermediate supports on the hardtail have a piece of 7/8" tubing plug welded inside at the splice for added strength.
P.P.S. Yes, my garage is a mess...
P.P.P.S. Yes, my bike is currently balanced precariously on a single floor jack and roll of 14/3 wire...
