Fiona, as Nicole likes to call
the bike, is the third bike I made. The first road bike. Nicole wanted
a smaller frame also since she isn't that tall. That called for a
slanted top tube.

I managed to get some good deals on the bike parts at swap meets
so there are some nice parts on the bike.

Here is the frame after powder coating.

Before taking the frame to the powder coater and before doing
the cleanup the frame was given a bath to remove all the flux
that was left on it and inside it. I put in a little acid in the
water (CLR) to make the process faster. Warm water helps too.

A paper copy of the drawing was made before building this frame
to make sure everything lined up correctly.
