The next one to prep is this joint. This is a wishbone rear. I think this is my favorite look for the seat stays. The top tube is straight gauge 4130 that will be brazed to the wishbone and mitered at the top to meet the back of the seat tube. The seat tube lug has a socket to receive this joint. The seat stays are 14mm that taper to 12.5mm at the end. They will get cut down considerably and brazed to the lower legs of the wishbone. I will have to take my time and really think through a good way to jig this up for brazing. I assume it will be done very similar to that of a fork.

Next assembly to prep
I have the head tube/ down tube joint ready to braze up. I thought that I would get a few more setup before I light the torch.
