Fellow Fat Lovers...
I just recently purchased a 91 team violet Yo...
I investigated the seat tube for rust...it had some surface, and some schmutz by the BB
I tried to convert it with a rust abatement product
it did shed some powdered rust and a fair amount of crust.
i wire brushed the walls, and put frame saver inside.
Upon rust conversion it loosened an H20 mount
How do you know when you should consider seat tube replacement?
Till you ride it and it cracks?
How much should i expect to pay - should I find someone willing to do the work?
I realize this involves a tube, paint and decals.
Who is taking on work like this still?
Who is considered the best with a decent turnaround?
The bike is quite a gem, and really don't see any other issues other than the seat tube
thanks
Jim
