Re: Seat tube crack repair on XXTeam
Mixalive... you're the king of fab'n'restoration ! ! !
That repair was complex, insanely involved, and you totally pulled it off like a champ! Do you feel like you could do anything with regard to a bike frame? How about building some frames? This story has been a blast to follow... especially when you consider the horrid starting point, all you put into building your repair set up, to the beautiful finished product. I appreciate the thanks along the way but as I stated before, this repair fell solely on your steady shoulders! I can say this, I damn proud of you (your hard work and achievement)... it really paid off in a big way! That took some steelie huevos to start cutting into that frame, you rule, brother!!!
Congrats on the fabulous success, you earned it!
Best regards,
-D-
p.s. Now, go build it...

I think the biggest benefit this story has is that we've seen it all documented from start to finish, complete with photos. Couldn't have been a better tutorial, seriously.

It was scary but I guess it worked out.
