Thanks for the vote of confidence! But I know my limitations and I definitely could not reproduce a bb frame. If I did, it would be embarrassingly obvious that it was made in my garage with harbor freight hand tools and a torch. :tonguewink:
I don’t know I have faith in you but you do know your limitations your work is amazing you could probably build anything if you really wanted to keep up the good work looks great
 
Ok. Thus far the hardest part of this project has been removing that seat post.

Step 1:
After some heavy torching and leverage, I was able to twist it but not able to lift it out of position any.

Step 2:
Last week, I soaked it top and bottom each day with wd40 and penetrating oil. Tried a Lever. No movement.

Step 3:
I threaded a 1/2” steel plate over the post and used a sledge hammer to press the frame down away from a suspended seat post hanging from a 2,000 lb cantilevered steel beam. No movement.

Step 4:
I cut away a portion of the seat tube to gain access from the bottom and heated/pounded from bottom. No movement.

Step 5:
Removed the seat tube mast and levered/pounded. No movement.
