Sorry dude...

Break out the marmalade, Marmite, Bovral or Nutella...




A few years ago a friend bought a super light lugless frame at bike swap. It looked fine until he started stripping the paint. The fork blades and seat stays were full of pin point rust holes.

He had a local frame builder do some patch work but it's going to be a wall hanger, never to be ridden again.
