Back to the drawing board....in a good way!

Oy, spent the better part of the last two nights drawing out seatstays....NEED to have full spec drawings for this one because I am likely going to bend again. Using beefier seatstays (19mm) so the angle is a little narrow to miter it's diameter to hit the seatstay radii (sp?). Not to mention, I think a little more mud clearance would be good.....going straight would only allow ~10mm or so on either side. That's not much mud. Could easily increase that by 50% or more with the arc I have on my bender. Anyway, multiple drawing up, some mock ups done, test bend complete. Now just need to pull the angles from the drawing and get some bending and mitering done. ONWARD>
