I'm starting to build a new road frame for a friend of mine, and I though people might be interested if I documented it.
The frame will be lugged construction, made from Columbus Zona. It's designed as a winter trainer, although I imagine it will get a lot of use all year round. Compact geometry, with a slightly sloping top tube. Clearance for mudguards. It'll be a slow process, as I work full time and have a toddler, but if you can be patient, you'll see a frame get built.
[Lower head lug. These are nice, with a built-in 5mm threaded adjuster. Best used with Shimano, as they interfere with Campy brake arms]
[complete lug set. They are in a raw state at the moment, with a fair bit of clean-up to come, and some modification of the edges for aesthetics]
[inputting all of the lug dimensions into CAD software. It's still in the design stage so it'll be a little while before I start hacking up tubes or lugs]
