build diary

July 21, 2004: Not one of my more successful evenings.
I squashed the header tubes down to fit into the flanges and did a little more tack welding to hold the pipes in place. Then just for fun I decided to start doing the final bead on the tubes - and hit my limitations as a welder. After blowing a few holes in the tubes I decided to hand it over to Brian so he can TIG it. I was not happy with myself. Instead of installing the new mirrors I called it a night and turned my attention elsewhere.

Geoff Davis tells me he is reluctantly having to sell his Seven kit. For some more information, check out my CMC kit for sale page. It's available right now and would be a great opportunity for someone who's interested in doing the same thing I am without the wait for CMC to build a frame.
