Second seat tube I've seen cut short in this build-off, so how are you guy's clamping/securing your post once this is done?

the ones i have done if i cant find one of them cool seat posts is just stick the post in where you want it (that sounds so wrong) and weld it. or do like i did on the hooligan and just weld the seat right to the frame :shock:

Thats what I did with Black & Wild... Weld seat pan right to frame... When Office goon purchased bike to put in his uncool office he asked if seat could be raised or lowered... Yup... Just pick bike up or set it down... :lol: ... Don't think he got that... :|

Before I take a little break and jump back on my honey do list.... I wanted to give everybody a loose representation of the direction things are going.... This years build off is a stiff competition... there are alot of good builds.... I am looking forward to picking up as soon as I can and getting back on the build...

I like it!....a LOT!

Question, what brand seat is that? I'm in the process of restoring a set of old springs and need to locate the 'seat' part. That one looks perfect!

Cheers,
