Had a bit of a pick away at the Donohue
Firstly, the corrosion on the inside of the nds chainstay looks to be just surface, which is good
Took a bastard file to it, along with some other spots this evening lol will which appear structurally sound
The main thing is that the whole builder-branding appears from research to be pretty annoying badging
The late 90’s frameset likely was assembled in Czech factories, which is good - but Paul had not part in making it (no frame numbers or any identifying stamps being another giveaway apparently) who also did the majority of TIG welded 853 frames that various UK ‘brands’ had badged
So, plan now is to strip back the paint and get it refinished as a no-name blank
Seems more honest to the people who actually made the frame
