Hi all...
For someone into polo I suppose, this frame that I got a while ago... I wanted to get it repaired to make a "dirty bike" I would have used on rainy days, it never happened...
Here are the pictures:
and the damages:
No. 1 is a big dent on the top tube
No. 2 is the top of the seat stay. This frame has no top eyes, just the stays directly brazed onto the seat tube. Connection looks fine, it is just the cover plate that is detached.
No. 3 is a hole in the l.h.s. chain stay. Who ever used this bike had very bad wheel on it, or moutain bike tyres, I don't know... At the time I asked Witcomb and he said he would charge £20 to fill this hole... I had not spoted the seat stay cover plate so I don't know how much for this one...
Edit - I would like to keep the head set, unless whoever want the frame needs it desperately... There is a BB on it, a bit rough, but should be OK with a bit of cleaning. Square taper.
Anyway, I suppose whoever will get it will finish it in the polo court, I don't know if it worth repairing.
I can meet in central - south east London this saturday if any interest... No postage.
Szia!
Loic
