After getting my Handy-Dandy ToPeak Alien II tool kit I went thru another "staring" session at my Downtube to see where I can conveniently attach it.

While tooling on the new adjustable spring shock I noticed a nice little spot for it. After hand filing an aluminum adapter for it I was able to install it and now have a nice nook for the tool bag to sit, nice and neat.

Nice job! :thumb:

Did you drill and tap holes in the frame?

Hi Jur!

Yes, I drilled and tap the holes myself. I used a couple of 4-40 Hex drive screws to secure the adapter. Am considering relocating the airpump clamp somewhere else so as to give more clearance off the 'toptube'. Hmmm, where to drill, where to drill.....
