  12. Another day at Chad's on Saturday for round 2 of the welding. It was the most critical day of the project by far - seeing if the frame would be level and line up with his Frame Jig. If not, at worse it could be a major cut up and re think! Luckily all went even better than expected with the frame lining up centrally and the frame tube being bang on level - major sigh of relief and a Jaffa Cake and Chocolate Hob Nob calibration followed shortly after :D
