EN ISO 4210-2 certified ✔️🅰️ After years of waiting it's finally done. I've thought this will be a fair job to have it and to be able to prove the liability of my work. It isn't cheap if you're asking. And to be totally fair, tested frame is from 2015, you can scroll to find road disc in mint colour. 1" track fork is also from that year. Only the fork and stem for the frame was built just recently. Frame is gone, same as the track fork. Frame fork looks good, stem (happy days) survived without a scratch. They've done 100K cycles with torque matching trekking-gravel type of riding. Road would've been less torque logically. Frame is 🕊️ Columbus Life for the rear part I don't remember:) internal routing in top tube and left seat stay. Fork blades are Cromor. Speaking for myself now; I've been considering safety more than ever. As you may know, I'm fully qualified with a welding license and being with one foot in the metal industry since I left college. If you're an aspiring frame builder or you enter the metal industry from the trade miles away, you are less likely to learn the correct work procedures, safety or how to stay away from material failures you may cause. I've never understood the thing of: I am self-taught. But so be it, perhaps I'm too old school. But this isn't to blame anyone, I mind my stuff. Anyway, my point is that having an ISO certificate, being qualified, makes it easier to deal with insurance companies for example. And yes, I'm insured now too. One really important detail considering framebuilding is that a frame builder builds practically a vehicle. Vehicle that the rider uses in the daily traffic and that's crucial point. That isn't discussed much in the community but I'm covered now, which makes this important task as accomplished and I feel good about this.
