During my research I determined that I wanted to experiment with a seat design that had a shortened nose- a part of the seat I find to be particularly cumbersome. After removing a portion of the nose and adjusting the size of the rear section, I began welding the various cuts I had made on the bandsaw. I enlisted the help of Jeff Quintor, a veteran welder, for this step. We learned that the gaps were a bit too large, so steel strips were added for support. After welding I used the angle grinder to smooth the surface of the weld. Finally I placed the seat on the bike and went for a test drive. So far, so good.
