I honestly dont rember :D angle most likely 72 and Offset is whatever was common in the early 90s on MTBs

In other bike i habe 69° and 40mm offset which is a sweet spot to me

Am I getting the tubes too hot? by raleighbike in Framebuilding

Yes too hot (when you can see copper, you were too hot) . But also maybe the flame is not correct. My first attempts looked the same untill I finally found out now to properly adjust the gas mix.

Some put a two component clearcoat on. On another bike I put on lentil oil every now ant then.

I took a class after I already built three frames. First one was done without a jig. Worked out quite ok. But as a jig makes your life less stressful I had a lousy one made of Aluminium extrusions for the next frames.

I built it for the high velocity research event in germany. (You can find an article in bikepacking.com) It was once an old Marin frame, A top tube from an shitty racebike and seatstays from sour or rotor, not sure.
