Cool.
The frame in question was yellow, fillet brazed construction with ritchey dropouts and what looks like a brazed on, stainless headbadge. Top and down tubes are tapered. You wouldn’t know what sort of age or material that’d have been would you?
I’ve salvaged the top tube from it and am using it in another frame as it seemed like a nice lightweight butted tube and the corrosion inside it wasn’t too bad.
It’d be good to know what kind of tubing it’s likely to be.

My take/understanding was that you’ll never get it 100% sealed so better to make it easy for the water to get back out.
Whoever built the frame in question obviously felt differently, wonder if they are still built that way, I have two mates that have Nomads (I think).
