Matt Vandart Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I'm always bodging stuff to keep bikes going, this is because I can't help doing it, I just gotta try.I'm not talking about mechanical ineptitude, I can do anything on a bike, Except build wheels which really f**ks me off, but I am determined to get it one day.I'm talking about, seeing how my bike could be better if I modified it, and carrying out that modification spending as little money as possible.Not because I am a mingebag, just because half the time there is not anything that will do the job exactly as I want it, but by bodging a few old bits of shit together it works, sometimes great.I thought of this today when me and my mate were in my garden f**king about on bikes, and he has made himself a little seat for his pashley, for exactly the reasons above, not because he is tight fisted.I think trials riders are more likely to try this as it has all the same problem solving buzz as actually working out a line and nailing it.What bodges have you done?Pictures would be cool, I'll post one of my bodges later.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
