Thanks for the positive responses!
I genuinely though everyone would rip it to shreds.
It's been an idea that been rolling around in my head for about 8 months.
I originally designed it to just be these bits below, but obviously that wasn't stiff enough so I had to add the deck-chair prop last minute - literally finished on the mill the morning I left for the event.
The seat tube also takes a bit more force than usual.... the original Titanium one was 1.1mm thick and wasn't 100% happy, so I've gone for a 1.5mm thick Ti tube next. I suppose the clamps could be wider to spread the load... but the whole thing needs sorting to improve the way it looks. That weird tapering top plate looks a bit strange from some angles. I'll probably get the whole lot CNC'd and then anodised.
