+1 mkeller234,
on the previous owner really abusing that thing.
Hi EjustE -
The frame weighs between 4 and 5 lbs on my bathroom scale, and the seat post appears to be a 26.8, as near as I can measure with my verniers.
Without building it up I would not even venture a guess on the 700c wheels. It is a fairly old bike, based on the frt top mount DR cable guides, so it may well be a 27x1-1/8. ( It does not look like a 1-1/4 to me)
I did price the Auto-body paint for another bike once, and found it very expensive, so Powder would indeed be the best option.
The OA may do the INSIDE some good -if I follow up with some frame saver. (Not sure where to buy frame saver tho)
Hey southpawboston! -
You really know your stuff! And the fact that yours is at the Powder coater makes a convincing case .
