I guess I am the Tom you are asking about. I have done all of the brazing on the first bike I built with a Propane Oxygen torch and I have ridden it several thousand miles with no problems. The second bike I welded with a MIG electric welder. I am waiting for cooler weather to make a few changes on thelast bike, and I have gathered material for another long wheel base dual 26" wheel bike.

I'd give him a call and see if he done that. I bet he has...
