All week I was looking forward to meeting up with Tony Pereira of Pereira Cycles. Tony is a master of fillet brazing. He prefers this method because there are less restrictions than there are with lugs…especially geometry. In 2009 Tony won the Oregon Manifest Constructors challenge which is a spin off of what the french did many decades ago. Tony is, for the most part, self taught and now even teaches at UBI. I really love what Pereira is all about and I can’t wait to see more.
