No need 2 say what she is

Lost my mojo 4 months . Hoping I got the bug back .

Seatpost tube was a wreck

Bent , crushed in and cracked in 2 places . Gotta keep original so no option 2 cut off and renew this has 2 b repaired.

Made calculated cuts then made a tool 2 push out crimping. Then aligned all splits. After welding I had 2 straighten the tube as it was bent back aswell.

Then all done

Then the worst I have attempted ever. Just had 2 save the tube

Explain 2 me what went through somebody's head 2 do this bitd

Then the long road back. Still working on it 2 day

Hoping 2 finish it

Really coming on now $:-\$

Hopefully finished pics later

Here u go . Won't be doing this again in a rush

must of took nearly 70 hours all told

making up tools etc

Great work there.

How did you do the brake mount tube? I've got a round tubed one on a Skyway TA that I could do with pulling out. $:-\$
