Hulsroy's Hustle

was curious about this exactly :)

The bolt just snapped. I'll have to find a proper solution for this

Much functional bodge-deluxe!

Can’t help feeling responsible.

I’ll just shut my puss in future.

Don't.

Also I have a solution to the bolt issue. I just need more time on the lathe

Would a correct length of continuously threaded studding be a starting point?

Not sure that is smart. I need the hex key socket head on the screw to make it work.

I have a 130mm M8 bolt and I'll make a recessed nut like the ones you use on road brake calipers. Just longer and M8.

Lathe action!

Please realise I am in awe of your engineering skills.
Studding plus a studding connector nut, and threadlock,
would allow a standard hex-headed bolt to 'reach' as far as you need.

I'll look into that thanks

Seat post sorted.

And balance bike frameset is done.
I need to finish handle bars and the off to paint Tuesday hopefully.

Great work!

Looks great. What color?

Starts with a cracked frame, ends up with a super minimalist locking seatpost.
Love it!

Pretty tempted to do a RAL 1027 or 8000 matte.

Nice!

Cool! So is the balance bike.

Thanks. And it actually seems to work!

Saddle has pleasing geometry allowing it sit very low

Forget HHSRB, I think you need to start a new BBB thread... Bling Balance Bikes.

Tukt. But not as you know it.
