Totally jealous of @Hulsroy most recent project so I spent last night trawling eBay for knackered frames and have bought this Holdsworth which has a stuck post and a crack/tear in the seattube.
I reckon the post would be removable with enough effort but with the damage to the tube and the rather agricultural looking lug I reckon something more extreme is in order.
I wonder if I could cut the tube 1/2 way down as with Hulsroy’s one but then sleeve a larger diameter tube directly over the remnants of the original seattube...
It’s probably going to get track ends too since I’m itching to do a conversion to them and I don’t ride gears.
