Shock mount installed. Good thing I offset the DT to help make room!
I know, boring, a cable guide. I liked the half-moon weld rainbows.
See the doohickey? Also note the machined-out sleeve for the rocker mount.
Almost ready to party...

Picture dump - McCalla 3
One of these hopefully will show what the "doohickeys" that Dave asked about in Pt. 1 are for.
Edit: It has come to my attention that I posted this during the super bowl, which, if I'm honest, I did not know was occurring, much less which teams were involved. So, in summary, I am an America-hating vegan communist sympathizer, no need to point it out.

Aha! I do indeed see them. Cool, thanks. Did you just tack them for test fitting the shock? Looks like they still need to be welded all the way around? The sleeve also looks nice and I'm assuming it gets welded more as well?
Dave -
Yes, in this case they are just tacked in. They are the last thing (along with the sleeve) to be joined to the frame. The pivot mounts get TIG welded onto the sleeve, then the sleeve gets brass brazed to the seat tube. I'll get some pictures of that today as I finish up.
Dannnng, that is rad. I definitely need one.
What's this "Superbowl" thing? Is that some kind of toilet bowl cleaner?
If this writeup doesn't sell bikes for you, I don't know what will. Great pictures, great welds, and great writeup.
I can't wait to get one just like this.
