Hi
New member first post. Do we have any frame builders on board?
I'm building an upright trike and have ready access to (oxy-acetylene) brazing, silver solder and TIG.
I'd value (knowledgable opinions) on relative strength of these different joining methods. I'll be using a filleted, lugless construction with recycled old bike frame parts. No 'fancy' steels or light guages involved.
I'm getting conflicting advice from the expert welders as to which to use.
I can braze & silver solder myself. But would need to get a colleague to do the TIG welding to be sure of a nice, neat, safe joint. Which would rather spoil the fun of making the trike myself.
Thanks
