Listen to 'em all... there only ever been two made and I've got the other  ^"^

I bolted mine to my bars and I use it as a 'sight' for running cats over  :4_17_5:

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

That was my first thought when i came up with the idea but the way i see it is the combined strength of the seat tube plus the seat post should take all but the heaviest of riders as long as you dont run a super high seat post. Also Pacific used to do a seat post with a standing loop at the back so the strength issue has been tested before.  :daumenhoch:

Either way it was good fun making and as others has said it doubles up as a cracking beer holder  ;)
