so this is what i was working on and i just started to get soo frustrated that i just had to stop and come get some 'professional help'

issue 1... the back screw for the chain guard is messed up,
soo rusty that the head stripped when i tired to unbolt it, then i tried to clamp it with players and visegrips but nothing, i even got so enraged i started beating the chainguard tab with a hammer like a Moron 'kew it was a bad idea at the time but did it anyways' ended hitting the chainstay once, who would have guessed :roll:

im not mad at myself for this, just feel stupid'er :oops:
since it has a dent in the side of the frame 'from the fork' aswell.. im just gonna fill all the 'bull' up with bondo... :lol:
just gonna cut the guard tabs off any now, looks ugly to me so whatever.. 'wanna save the chainguard incause one of you here wants it' cause i dont :p

issue 2... The all Famous Stuck Seatpost AGGGGHHH...
some fat idiot raised the seatpost almost double the 'MAX Limit' and this is how i got it...

does anyone have an alternitive in doing a clamp post for this bike?
cause im considering just cutting off the top of the mast and 'comming up with a way to weld a clamp under the frame 'like the Occ frames
'or find a clamp that fits the Oversized seatmast <-__->
and last option i have is just welding a seatpost straight in the mast.. >> 'dont have a welder yet though'

'Note i plan on using a sissy bar and Banana seat on this bike'

Please comment any suggestions.. 'i never had a bike with such a thrashed seatmast before' :x
 
For the chain guard- Drill the center of the top of the screw with a bit a little larger than the size of the threaded part. Once you get through the head the chain guard will be free.

For the seat post- If you are not planning on saving the seat post lock in a vice (bicycle upside down) tight enough to crush it about half way. Use the frame for leverage and twist it until free.

there a way i can just cut the top of the mast off then use the bottom for clamp.. like switch the clamp from top of the frame to under the top tube?
