Subject: [CR]Stainless Steel Lugs and fork crowns

Richard Sachs stated about his new fork crown, "Someday I hope to have some, er, high-quality images of these gems. Until then, I hope you get the picture! I will notify the list when the goods are in stock and available for sale. And, "yes", they're being made in stainless steel too...". I do not understand the process in building a frame using SS lugs and crowns. Does not the heat involved in brazing affect the SS finish. Then how to you clean up the lug after brazing. can you file the SS after before brazing. It appears I know nothing about the subject just that they look good when finished Charles nighbor tried after 60 miles on single speed freewheel from Walnut Creek to Livermore and back. A few longer pulls uphill but mainly rolling terain in a 68 gear
