That is not easy to do here.
The seat tube fit a lugged BB. Your suggestion will need a clean sleeve BB.

All i'm hearing is excuses. Only joking obviously, looks like a great project.

Yeah thought as much. By the way, I have the file set you recommended, a torch in the post and some machined jig parts on the way. Thanks for the inspo

Sweeeeeeeeeet!
Well done you.

Maybe something like a Porter Cycles seat tube? Only in a more functional aestethic..

🙈

With the yoke you could go 650b on it.
Remember to have it blasted before you start work on it though......

That is rank sorry.

Yes or just not paint it :)
Even if it doesn't work it is still practice

Which file set is that?

Bacho

They don't work on cave man toe nails so don't ask

Haha. As above. I’m sure there’s better and more expensive but these seem nice for the budget

Bacho is made from the best steel and Richard Sachs approves

I don't mind - it's not my bike.
I just thought that the method could be used to mend the broken seat tube.

I haven't got any images of what I plan to do but I remember when @coldharbour did that unicorn TT bike he chopped a bit of the seattube out and brazed a 1mm is steel sheet on instead. I think it will be a simple solution if the seat tube is otherwise in good condition.

My wife's old fixie had something similar although it appears to be crimped rather that cutaway

Chop out that whole section of seatpost and replace with plate. Will be nicely "vertically compliant" I imagine.

@PhilDAS start a thread for your adventures

If I end up doing it like I imagine I don't think stiffness will suffer in any way.

Yes. Don't be afraid of sharing your failures. It is through being honest and posting my fuck ups that I have learned most. Too many hide their mistakes imo.
