Right here's how I got on with the braizing  ::) Had a few practice runs and decided I was probably going 2 toss it up  :LolLolLolLol: so I defered 2 using Tig and phosphur bronze rods  ;) think the result is pretty close 2 the original and I'm chuffed 2 bits with the result  :smitten:







Now I might be able 2 get the seatpost out with out twisting the frame  :-X

While I was at it I filled up the extra holes in the forks some Numptie had drilled 2 fit a MX1000 brake  :uglystupid2: Bit of fettling and no body will tell  :daumenhoch:

Right I finally got the bloody seatpost out  ::) Had 2 sacrifice it tho was jambed in very badly  :tickedoff: It was bent and dented which probably aided its refusal 2 budge at all costs . So I cut it off an inch from the top of the seatpost. I then made a saw  :LolLolLolLol: (cost my boss a fortune me making tools 2 fix this frame) , 2 cut the post down its length twice, this took hours because didn't want 2 cut into the seatpost tube  ::) then a lot of twisting with stilsons and eventually the vice I got the barsteward thing out . Heres the pics of the bits  :-\





its a nice feeling when ya win  :daumenhoch:

Still working on the soddin chromers damage pics coming soon  :D
