July 12, 2002--Richard sent us more photos showing the progression from raw materials to finished frame.  Check out these shots of the detailed work involved in joining the tubes to the lugs--note the small pins that Richard temporarily puts in place to keep the frame in perfect alignment while it is brazed.

Sadly, these photos are not of the frame Richard is building for us--some other lucky rider is a few months ahead of Campy Only in the queue . . .
