Tapped the BB, reamed and faced the Head tube.
Needs some post braze clean up. As you can see, on the faced part of the headtube There is a good penetration of silver ( the entire frame is silver brazed. yes, its real silver in there. expensive? you bet !! ) between the lug and the tubing. That means, this bike is ready to take on the bad stuff - head on !
A properly reamed and faced headtube is necessary, so that the head set can sit squarely on the headtube, Which results in smoother steering and ofcourse longer bearing life.
