We drilled the holes into the mild steel and are looking forward to trying the jig saw with a metal cutting blade.
My brother is going to try his hand at grinding the posts that holds the front deraileur. I get to sew the seats. I've already cut out the fabric now to pick up the nylon web and heavy duty thread.
