That looks almost too good for a bodge - someone's probably selling an identical tool for £50, probably nae carbon in it either!
All these random bits are in Glasgow i'm afraid - i'm sure i've seen a stand with two uprights somewhere & it's driving me mad, would be an amazing bodge if I got my hands on that...
@psg1ben i'd try and get something between the clamp / stays and the frame in case they start eating into the frame - on the stays a rubber coated p-clip is an ideal bodge for mudguards even if it's not in the true spirit of bodgery, which should be as slapdash as possible

I'll start by saying this is my lock up and forget rat bike. It has a crack in the frame thanks to Bristol Dropouts (or whatever they're calling themselves these days) so I'm not too fussed about preserving the frame, though I might still fit something soft under the stays if this becomes more permanent.
Saying that though, the idea is that it's an ejecto guard that I can remove with just a lighter or a bit of tugging rather than needing tools. I'd usually not have one at all but I'm off to some indoor exercise/training after work and want to keep some of the road grime off my legs, it may well get ditched after that 🤷🏾♀️

Excellent bodge. If you ever find any more spare retort stands/clamps/what-have-you I’d be interested to know. I made a lamp out of one once but some more parts would be fun to play with.
I had to remove some stubborn ferrules from a guitar headstock today. Headset spacers, top cap, a long bolt and a nut made a decent removal tool.
