yup, woke up this morning with a brilliant thought.
(Unfortunately, it seems like I have only brilliant thoughts when I'm sleeping, but I guess it's better than nothing... Oh well.... )
I thought: I wonder if my old vise would fit on my pintle mount...?
well:
bolt pattern slightly off but skinny bolts make it feasible...
interestingly, I was thinking about ways to secure the vise securely cuz I'm struggling with the stuck seat post for this old bike. I needed something secure to exert mucho torque on the thing to try and dislodge it.
Semi success: this new vise mount allowed me to use the frame to torque the post quite a bit. So much in fact that the seat mount that was press fitted in the post let loose and the post is still stuck in there.... grrr...
