Bevelheadmhr said:The frame isn't brazed, its 'gas bronze welded' according to Norley. I have no preference either way, so long as the welding is neat and well done, though the gold joints look cool. I'm still pondering whether to have the frame powder coated traditional black or clear.
No it won't. Once you put clear on the metallic sparkle look of the bead blasting the light reflection goes away and it just turns a dull gray color. When I bead blasted my frame and it came back from the blaster that's exactly what I said, just clear that, it is beautiful. Unfortunately it doesn't work out that way with paint or powder.xb33bsa said:yeah nice clean fresh beads a blastin then a clear will make it sparkle

TriBSA Chas said:I don't know what steel is used for your frame but the original manx featherbed frames used Reynolds tubing and Reynolds recommended gas bronze welding over welding because the heat from welding adversely affected the properties of the steel alloy used.
