Couldn't find a tub big enough to do a vinegar bath for my Tour2 frame, so I soaked a load of rags in vinegar, wrapped them around the frame and then wrapped them in cling film to keep them in place. Stuck it in the shed and left it for 24 hours. Came back to find towels were rust coloured in places, with a few bright vivid green streaks. Totally ruined the chrome.

Heating a seat mast to get a stuck post out, well things don't look hot so you can guess the rest. Let's just say I got instant Tourette's.

bought a brand new standard lengthy f&f for £450, hammering the headcups in using a block of wood for about an hour and they still wouldnt go in. decided to remove the wood and just use the BIG hammer, put a big dent in the toptube when i missed.

still, it lasted 10 years before i snapped it.
