A Brief Introduction to Brazing Steel Bicycle Frames

• Bicycle Frame Design References Books and other sources of information on how to design a frame for a particular rider and use. The key to a perfect bike is designing it to fit your body and your riding style.
• Braze-Ons: a comprehensive list of accessory braze-ons for any touring frame. You probably won't want all of them, but at least this will make it harder to forget one you do want.
• An Introduction to Brazing, including book titles and manufacturers' addresses. Of all the ways to assemble a bicycle frame, brazing is the least expensive to get into and one of the most versatile, though it does limit you to ferrous frame materials.
• Frame Building Supplies Both retail suppliers and wholesale suppliers of frame tubing, lugs, bottom brackets, and other parts for your frame. Retailers you can order from yourself; have your local shop get catalogs from the wholesalers.
