Gotta stay off page 2!
So, I’m lining up a welding session with @Skydreamer for the weekend, removed as much black paint from the Brooks B72 undercarriage as I could reach and ordered a new dual/flat rail seat clamp (guts).
Slowly plodding along.
Cheers!

Man, those seat rails sure are twisted up bad!!! 
Always loved the look of those Brooks!

I’m gonna start treating it with Brooks Proofide to try to soften it up a little more, don’t want a repeat of my last B72’s death..
Can you get a Brooks redone asking because I got one that only the middle rivet is holding the front.
Not sure buddy, my fear is it would cost as much as new saddle…
I had kicked around the idea of either finding a decent Brooks B17 or the like or one of the cheap non-Brooks leather saddles, drilling out the rivets and swapping the new leather onto the old B72 undercarriage. I like the amount of suspension that type provides not too little, not too much.

@Skydreamer did his thing on the frame, way stronger than Schwinn ever did it, should have no problem supporting my chubby butt now.

Bottom welds
Scored some emory paper from him too, so I should be able to get the rest of the paint off this week. My plan is to give it a coat of rust reformer, then primer and color, to be revealed later.

If i could give any advice about chains, try the Z1E HX EPT.
They come in wide of narrow. Wide is your regular 1/2x1/8
They are really rustproof and imo look really sturdy
Dr T, looks like Skydreamer filled that 'prescription' perfectly for what was ailing your frame! Humpster RX.
Humpster Dumpster crashed in a wall
Luckily Tank didn't have a great fall
All of King's fish and all of his parts
Couldn't keep Humpster from falling apart.
But @Skydreamer sure could!!!!
@Skydreamer has a dream shop and location!!!
Great guy to hang with. He's cooking up some killer work on his build too!

Filed the axle to fit and then this happened…..
Should be able to get a good ‘tuck’ on this one! Hahahahaha! Hardly, like @kingfish254 said to me, now the ‘Hump’ will be in my back!
Just need to hone out the BB shell a little to fit the crankset cups to finish the mock-up

That stance is right on, Dr T! Looks sleek and fast. Those Savannah cobblestones will be flying under those wheels!

Dang, DrT that's good stuff. What bars is those?
Just some generic ‘3 speed’ or mustache bars, nothing special
LBS: Hey Dr. T, your rear wheel is ready
