Slow progress due to work and family stuff.... Brakes and seatpost now unstuck and removed from the frame. BB is still seized, having broken two tools attempting to remove it....
However, there are some loose bits of material inside the frame that were not there before I starting striping it down. I suspect that it's internal rust that manhandling the seatpost and BB has broken loose from the tubes. So the frame is probably dead.
So I now need a new frame. 56/57 cm, steel or alu. Mounts for guards preferred, extra points if it suits a 650b conversion. Does anyone have anything suitable?
