Hey all, new to the forum but really digging it. I just started resurrecting my Yo Eddy I've had since I forget when. 91 or 92 maybe? It has the press in BB bearings and a completely rusted out seat tube. I plan on cutting out the BB shell, replacing it with a threaded BB, cutting off the seat tube above the rust and welding in a new section.
All I've done so far is strip the frame and fork. It's cool to see the bike without paint, because you can see stuff like the scribe line used to drill the water bottle bosses.
I have a couple of questions. Does anyone know the RAL number for the maroon Yo's came with? And also, one of my brake bosses is messed up and I would like to replace it with something like the original one. Any ideas on where to source one? I've never seen anything like them from the usual sources.
I will try and put up some photos of the rebuild as it happens.
