Bob's Winter Commuter - Start

Here is the start of a winter commuting bike for myself.  It is a 29'er mountain bike
design and will be set up with Nokian studded tires.  I will use a Nuvinci n360
about what my impression will be of this hub.It will be interesting not having
set gears, but the hub is pretty heavy.  I will have cable routing for a regular
derailleured bike and will also probably run routing for a Rohloff 14 speed
internal hub.  ( I used one for years and rode thru a couple of winters with it).
 
Seat tube mitered to Bottom Bracket.

Close-up.

Majority of Front Traingle mitered.  This is the first time for me using a bent
downtube.  Took a bit of extra time planning the miters, but it worked out
and fit great!


Now I need to wait for the stock for the top tube to come in.  I am going
to put a curved top tube on this one also.  I should have the tubing later this
week, then I will bend and miter it and get the front traingle tacked and brazed.
