This time, taking some ideas from other people and using an old bike seat tube with a T welded on front so I could mount bar ends on it. It works great on the muni, and feels really good for longer distance riding. I used it quite a bit last Saturday when Jason and I did a regular muni ride.<\/p>\n<p>Mounted, unpainted:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img-1722.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img-1722-tm.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"751\" alt=\"IMG_1722.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With some paint slapped on:<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img-1892.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img-1892-tm.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"751\" alt=\"IMG_1892.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bronson Silva, of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.silvacycles.com\">Silva Cycles<\/a> gave me a couple of brass rods so I could give brazing a try. And oh boy, I love brazing! It is much easier to do then welding, and the joints look really good.<\/p>\n<p>Making the thing was pretty easy. I cut the front bike tube off (including the seat post bolt part), flipped it upside down and brazed a T onto it:<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img-1714.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img-1714-tm.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" alt=\"IMG_1714.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img-1717.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img-1717-tm.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"751\" alt=\"IMG_1717.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img-1719.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img-1719-tm.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" alt=\"IMG_1719.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I cut off the extra tubing in front and mounted bar ends on it.

While I was cutting one of them out, I pushed down a little too hard and the bit fell out (it is a press fit), broke a tooth, and put some teeth marks on the lower part of the T.
