Nice! What's the plan? I just went through your Galaxy thread and you defo have a unique style with your mods lol
Yeah the new tube will be fillet brazed. I asked the guy if he would just leave the joins unsmoothed but he refused :s
Crunty-
Thank you ;)
My main motivation other than being an unorthodox wanker is to handle weight better at the front. Running a small wheel will reduce the trail (and wheel flop) both because it's a small wheel and because the head tube will steepen. But the angle could do with being even steeper, and my frame is also a bit long. Chopping down the top tube slightly & replacing the head tube could solve those problems.
I think it makes more sense than replacing the frame. I'm torn between 1" and 1 1/8" though. Where's your frame builder based?

Ha I'm planning to do exactly this to my galaxy - both the headtube replacement and the smaller wheel at the front, though 26" in my case. Will the new tube be fillet brazed?
