The jig table is going to be adapted so I can use the same table for both the rugby chairs and the downhill frame, this saves space and cost, I’m using a combination of aluminium profiles, stainless steel and CNC machined brackets to accomplish th

DH bike frame rear tube brackets  for alignment looks good now there done!

In this photo test cross tubes are there holding strong if not aligned there the are ajustable
