Who did Rhy's?

sawzall:
rich have a word with donker,he made me a new seat tube (top job)then i carefully removed old seat tube using an air saw belt sander and die grinder then inserted new tube in frame to check fit then removed,i drilled a 4mm hole in bottom bracket in centre where new tube sat and used a bit of threded bar with a nut and washer inside bb and another at top of seat tube with a large repair washer then tightened through new tube, this keeps tube in correct position,i also used a small ratchet strap from head tube to rear drop outs to hold it all together,also fit a couple of old bearing cups to keep it the right shape as the welding creates a lot of heat and can distort it, then all you need to do is find a good welder then remove straps and threded bar ,heres a pic of the one i did
