I've completed molding and finish-sanding all 16 clam shell segments. The raw part on the right is what came off the male plug form. Then the part on the left is after sanding. Each segment came off the plug form looking like that and had to be sanded. Lots of work, but the benchtop belt sander helped tremendously.
First I glued the left and right clamshell pairs together with CA glue.
Here the segment that joins with the heat tube has been glued together and then the segment was bonded to the head tube with epoxy.
This is a dry fit of the BB segment to the BB itself.
Dry fitting the top tube together. The final placement of the segments will be driven by the location of the shock mounts.
Dry fitting all 3 segments of the mail seat tube spine.
Final seam sanding and prep for bonding.
