the problem with most reinforced frames is the welds penitrate the frame too deep and weaking it ,the vertical welds are usually the ones that fail

Can't wait to see the finished product.
Also, I dont blame you a bit for bracing the frame from the get go. I'm gonna do this to every bike I get from here on out!!

Roger, since we are talkinga bout bracing. I was thinking when i do my next frame. putting dry ice around the rest of the frame to isolate the heat to just the weld area? Also this should help disapate the heat throughout the frame faster? Your thoughts?
