Ale, star file down the other bit of braze-on still attach to the frame.

the idea is to finish with a clean seat tube, so you can put the new clap.

I thinking, if you want to still try to put back the old brace-on in edwardes.

you should be able to put the jubille clap just a bit down in the seat tube and left the brace-on be

this will allow you to use the bike until next bike

yeah, I was thinking that too - seems a bit final to hack into the braze-on still going strong - someone offered to weld broken one back on early next week but he ain't a bike mechanic. Would it still be possible?

But unless I can be sure of the jubilee clip doing the job with this minimal seattube/right braze on still on frame, I guess I better get to work..

check and see if only with the jubille you can ride, if yes free drink if not is shit because even without the brace-on the jubilee is not working

how you going?

how you going?

terrible.

either staying in with my head in my hands or coming over on my insanely unweildy emergency emergency hybrid.

bollocks.

I've spent the last three hours hacksawing, filing and trying to fit the jubilee clip to the top of the seat tube. There isn't enough space for the clip to sit properly. Operation fucked.

I basically am waving goodbye to the Clapham Slapper due to a seat bolt breaking off.

This can't be happening.

Do you want to borrow the Peugeot?

You shall go to the ball,
Kind regards
Your fairy godmother

BRM - thanks man but not sure I'm ready for a twenty+ mile fixed ride with 60 people half of whom are already drunk.. I may yet roll up on my Giant but only if I can see past my desolation dude.. but it's waay slow and cumbersome.

...but it's waay slow and cumbersome.

Basically the Peugeot with gears, then?

:)

you are rather nice - that sounds good...

what shall we do then?

No, I meant the Giant is like the Peugeot, but with gears.
Sorry mate...

ah.... well I'm thinking..

Come on Jim Jam the suspense is killing me
What the next move?
Its gripping stuff

oh i dunno...

growup you are making me chuckle though.

Starting to realise your avatar is well chosen.. your recent posts seem to fit very well..

You are more than welcome to my old heap, the yellow Holdsworth, blue mudguards, rack.
Its big and fixed, 48x18 and the promenade bars.
And its Brixton Hill. I cant go tonight as I am babysitting the kids and after Oxford ride last weekend, 35 miles and 60 riders it will take a while but still worth it.
Not offended by a rejection, see you at South drinks otherwise.

Drill a hole through the seat tube and seat post, place a bolt through and put a nut on the end.

YEEEEAAAHHHHH

Nuts to rapha!

BRM - you're close - maybe I could take the Pug for a quick spin?

Time's moving along...

thanks for kind offer GrowUp but yup think I'll see you Monday man, Brixton Hill will be a bit of a trek now..

not a job for me Tynan, don't know enough. Obviously one solution to riding it again.
