If you have hours to waste and want to see many Ritcheys check out
https://ritchey.vintagebicycledatabase.com/listing.php I will also always point out how nice the seat cluster looks on a dekerf. |

Dave, is this a one-off only? The brass "webs" are as strong as the tubes, correct? How do you form them? I am curious as to why you choose to go with a simple uni-crown fork on this frame? You wanted something simply curved at the crown, etc.? Very nice work. . . |

So far it is a one-off but I have some on order that will be built in the next 6-7 months. Forming them is tricky and if one knows what to look for, and looks very closely, there are clues to how it's done in the photos. It's up to folks to figure it out. Fork - Some of the worst riding forks ever made are unicrown forks and while the look would match well I just couldn't do it. So I selected this simple curvy crown that in internal (crown goes into the blades instead of the other way round) so it would have a all-of-one-piece seamless look under paint. dave |

Now I understand; I didn't think you would produce a basic, standard uni-crown fork for such a lovely frame. . . Is the arrow pointing at a clue? An architectural/structural element found on Gothic arches, etc.? Last edited by cadence90; 07-28-2018 at 03:31 PM. |

I've always liked fillet-brazed Mosers like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Moser-leader...a/122724442982.

Awesome Salsa.
“ Scoboni” isn’t a model name, is it? |

Brazed fillets look great and I'm by no means disparaging them, but isn't the braze material weaker than the weld rod used to make a tig weld (which is as strong as the tubing)? This means that the brazed fillet would need to have a larger throat thickness than an equivalent tig weld would to achieve equivalent strength. I've seen some pretty small brazed fillets. That concerns me when I see stems and forks with tidy fillets. Also, isn't there tubing that's specifically made for welding, having thicker butts, which make up for loss of strength in the heat affected zone? |

That's cool! would love to see more photos of this. The top tube/seat tube junction looks a lot different from the couple I've seen (#4 and #5) where the top tube pierced the seat tube.

I was really impressed when I first saw a Casati (a fellow club member had bought one from R&A). I loved the smooth fillet brazing, the internal cable routing, and paint job.
Contrary to what the eBay seller writes, this one is fillet-brazed, not TIG-welded. https://www.ebay.com/itm/53x54-CASAT...-/302566790351
