Yeah that's what I'm doing hahaha

Yeah you are probably right. Now I need to find a die grinder lol. Maybe a forstener bit would work? I could drill a relatively small hole on the back side, stick the forstener bit in and then go to town, then close up the small holes. I believe the wall thickness is 0.083".

I need to increase the hole size inside my bicycle bottom bracket shell that vents to the down tube. The hole (as shown below) is quite challenging to get to so I thought I'd put any feelers out for ideas before I start going at it with a dremel. The picture below is just an image I found of...

I clearly managed to completely miss that lol

That seems obvious to me now that you point it out! that hadn't even occurred to me. I'll look into, thanks.

That’s very kind. I’m sure I could teach you a thing or two about bicycle technology, but when it comes to fabrication I’m sure it’d be the blind leading the blind haha!

There were a few other steps I missed taking pictures of, but my frame is essentially done and I could throw it together! For now I've robbed all the parts off my other bike while I wait for the rest of my parts to arrive. I'm going to ride with these borrowed parts until everything else is in...

The crankset I've elected to use can only be purchased with 'single-speed' chainrings. Single-speed chains have wider rollers, so that the accompanying sprockets have wider teeth which makes them last longer. Multi-speed bikes have much narrower sprockets and use narrower chains. To use this...

Towards the end of the build my brazing skills had improved quite drastically and I was no longer happy with how the water bottle bosses looked which were the very first thing I brazed and I cooked the sh*t out of them (pictured below). I decided to drill them out. After drilling the heads...
