Fixpunk vs Hipster!

How about, converting a QR seat clamp to work on my frame by removing the clamp part and just using the skewer? :)

did you cut weld and alter?

fuck yes I did, I cut the plastic holder that secured the langster to the peg.

i made a sweet seatpost shim last weekend.

Can't do the stuff I want to do now as I live in a one bed flat.

i'm about to make a mum joke!

better than one flat bed, methinks. (sorry, couldn't resist...)

btw, sorry about the rack - i didn't ever hear from you, but guess you got it sorted somehow.

chain device (looks like a dmr speed guide with a guide at the top and roller at the bottom)
chain tensioner (rear mounted)
a collection of bash guards (trails and bigger)
i converted magura only forks to run v brakes
a wooden mud guard
an adjustable brake lever (for different pull ratios)
mini bar ends
i converted a open race hub to sealed bearing.s

and one day i will make my own bike.

FIXPUNK

My favourite mod to a bike (simply because it's the most recent) is the wedgemod on my BMX seatpost. Basically the pivotal seatppost has a bolt which runs through the top of saddle to attach it to the seatpost.

I used a longer bolt and cut the bottom of the seatpost at an angle so that one bolt would tighten a quill style clamp holding the seatpost in the frame and the saddle onto the seatpost.

I then took a hacksaw to the top of the seat tube on the bike to cut it down below the slot. Hence aesthetically a clean look but still more than functional.
