  • Sick project, can't wait to see what you do with it.
    Try to find another way of holding it in the stand though, that oversized alloy tubing is super-thin-walled, you could easily crush or dent it with the clamp there.
    The seat tube (directly below the top-tube) is generally thicker, though the safest method is to bolt the seatpost in and clamp the post itself.

  • Yep - totally agree. The clamp is very very lightly gripping (just enough to hold it for the pictures). Usually go for seatpost.

    Have previously learnt the hard way that tubes aren't designed for that kind of stress!
