| Dropouts on |
 |
| Not the prettiest welds, but not too bad... |
 |
| The frame with the headtubed mocked up |
 |
| I found a website that calculates templates you can print out and tape to the top and down tubes to get the proper miter angles. I just ground the tubes with a grinder and a dremmel tool. I just cut the head tube down with a hacksaw. I figured I would have to re face it anyway after it was welded on, which was correct. |

| Headtube welded on with fork mocked up |
 |
| Welding on the last bits.... |
 |
| I was able to borrow the Italian BB thread chased and headtube facing tools from Bikeone. Mark and Alex were on hand to supervise... |
 |
| The headtube was pretty distorted, but it all worked out fine. |
 |
| Mocked up with wheels. |
 |
| It's been a long time since this bike has seen any action! Hopefully it will hit the road again in a week or less. |
