I just wanted to say awesome job to the folks over at Biseagal. They did an awesome job converting my old trek roadbike into a soon to be mean as hell city bike. I highly recommend them for any sort of frame modification/repair.

Next stop is powdercoating, I'm hoping Bayers-Bush lives up to Cavernmerch's recommendation. Also have any of you guys chopped a brooks before? I've heard a grinder is one of the better ways of removing the excess leather, any suggestions? I think I have the basic ideas but any cool style tricks are greatly appreciated.
