• However, not one to be permanently defeated but rather temporarily distracted, I had another go.

    With special thanks to:

    • caustic soda + exothermic reactions
    • Big pipe wrench + scaffolding tube
    • angle grinder
    • plusgas

    I managed to cut the crank arm off, dissolve some of the seatpost, wrestle the stem out, and jump on a big lever attached to a bb tool with such accuracy that it finally, mercifully moved a tiny bit.

  • nice job with the caustic soda! I'm surprised that the paint survived, I managed to melt a lot of the paint off a frame when I used it.

    Capri's are ace! I remember a mate of mine swapped a pair of those huge shitty Jamo speakers for one when we were youths back in the mid 90's.
    no driving license, no fucks given. very silly.

  • tbh I was kinda hoping that it'd take some of the paint with it, to save me some work!

    Loving these capri stories
