.083" beef for the pivot (turned down to press-fit, then welded into the upper section of the seat tube), .035" above. Offset to accomodate Craig's super-slack seat tube angle and reasonably short (455mm) chainstays. I'd go shorter, but Craig's going to be sitting pretty far back - so we wanted to keep the rear wheel behind him enough to prevent looping out.
BB/ST/pivot all welded up.
Upper pivot tower and .058" x 1.375" sleeve.
Setting everything up to tack in the upper pivot tower. Gotta double check all those clearances!
Tower welded to sleeve. Here's the complete seat tube assembly:
Still one seat tube step to go - brazing the sleeve to the seat tube to hold everything together (well, ok, the welding of the tower holds everything pretty well, but this is still something I need to do, if for nothing else than to fill the small gaps between the tube and the sleeve)

pretty!
Does the upper pivot tower goes through the seat tube like the lower pivot? I can't figure it out...
