Worst case is that you could cut the seat mast if it's not too short to help get it out and retap the treads. Whatever you do try to hold on to the clamp and not damage it! I found out that the curves of the seat mast are very unique to the design so no other manufacturer's clamps fit (gotta love custom!).Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14946332444862536971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663401227228375913.post-34922081913021950672008-12-02T11:51:00.000-08:002008-12-02T11:51:00.000-08:00Brian, I'm putting together an Abici TM myself after getting a screaming deal on the frame... slight problem though... the screw to loosen the seat post clamp is stripped. Do you still have the contact info for the guy in AZ who got your seat post clamp from? <BR/>I'd like to have a potential replacement lined up before I get to wild and crazy on trying to extract the one that's currently in my frame.mslater777xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18359585847691521372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663401227228375913.post-62345229770698279442008-11-30T21:29:00.000-08:002008-11-30T21:29:00.000-08:00Get better soon!

I'm SO glad that you're ok. Bones will heal and you'll be good as new in a month. Don't worry about missing CX.

I'll see if I'm available for the race on the 1st. Although my friend Becky is no longer fighting cancer, I'd love to be part of raising money for those who are.<BR/><BR/>As for the frustration of crashing in a cyclocross race, you are not alone. I was running tubeless (using Stan's) at Crosstoberfest, and blew my tire off the rim on the asphalt turn in the infield area. I was unable to get back on my bike and finish the race. In addition, I really messed up my hip. The last of the swelling is just going away now.<BR/><BR/>Good luck at Donida Farm.ck2002http://www.blogger.com/profile/03892877496386655078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663401227228375913.post-55021177916255544282008-10-07T20:50:00.000-07:002008-10-07T20:50:00.000-07:00Brian, that was an awesome post! I just got back from my little 4 mile ride and I officially feel like a wuss. Sucks about the crash, but you made the best of it.

In the meantime, I am beginning to see that cross is all about havign to fight your way up at every point. That's what fun to watch, when a teammate goes down and gets back up again PISSED, and crushes everyone in front of them until the officials make them stop.Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07361305025832447542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663401227228375913.post-18505214001063223512008-10-05T23:14:00.000-07:002008-10-05T23:14:00.000-07:00Give it time, you'll be charging the barriers in no time!<BR/><BR/>Might take you up on the video format and working through the codec.

I am not a mountain biker in any way. In fact, I find it terrifying. <BR/><BR/>Also, if you have any trouble with the videos, let me know. I thought I heard you say that you have a Mac, and because of the xvid codec, you either need to use the VLC player or convert the files for iMovie. But maybe you know that already! <BR/><BR/>-Kellykwozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03283756242519699016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663401227228375913.post-85858651500503689892008-09-23T22:57:00.000-07:002008-09-23T22:57:00.000-07:00Congrats man!

But, you still have to hope. <BR/><BR/>I have a pretty strong personal stance on also not voting for a candidate simply because of their religious views alone. (Jeremy and I disagree on this one) I think a lot of people voted for Bush because of his conservative Christian nature, but that doesn’t make you a good President. We can’t elect leaders using our own personal religious beliefs as a key driver. It’s America and what makes it great is you can believe in God, marry who want (well…almost) and do it freely. I might not agree with someone and their lifestyle, but it’s not my place to judge and I just need to try to live by example (and continually asking for grace). As our nation gets more diverse and the world gets smaller, separation of church and state becomes even more important in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>That’s my soapbox for the afternoon. :)Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14946332444862536971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663401227228375913.post-75867955448933086832008-09-04T16:35:00.001-07:002008-09-04T16:35:00.001-07:00By the way, I don't want to vote for anyone this year.Danielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03059145408652218278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663401227228375913.post-30482855842389972742008-09-04T16:35:00.000-07:002008-09-04T16:35:00.000-07:00As someone who votes republican generally, I know I definitely need a wide stance bathroom stall for many reasons.Danielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03059145408652218278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663401227228375913.post-53292869884234136192008-08-27T11:26:00.000-07:002008-08-27T11:26:00.000-07:00Thanks!<BR/><BR/>This is a 56.5cm frame. I'm 6'1" with a 32" inseam (my legs are a little short for my height) and it fits me well. If you were any taller it might be good to look at the next size up.<BR/><BR/>The seat post mast is designed to be cut to fit, but you can always have it shorter. I don't think the aerodynamics will be too compromised. :)<BR/><BR/>It's a great bike. Are you looking at buying one used?
