Not a Framebuilder...

... but at one point in life I repainted a car. Similar. It's kind of like drywall - skill helps you progress quicker, but if you really care about what you're doing, patience can get you there.

V-brake posts are ugly on bikes that use discs, so why not remove them?

Hacksaw on the kitchen table.

Filing it smooth.

Time for rustproofing and priming.

And a little painting.

End result is ok, you wouldn't know v-brake posts were there without a really close look.

Singlespeeds have been on my mind a bit lately, will follow up in time with a few pics of the real deal - singlespeeds with big kids who like riding bikes attached, hopefully with a little mud on the tires.
