Hi all, new member here. I recently was commissioned to repair my buddy’s poprad frame. Long story short, he got t-boned (low speed) and the seat tube cracked. I took some measurements of the seat tube and I’m a little perplexed. The OD is 31.8mm, ID is 27.2mm which is a pretty thick wall. I went on to firsthand to grab a new seat tube and I cannot find an 853 tube that fits the measurements. Best I can do is 31.8mm OD, 30.6mm ID. Does anyone have any in depth knowledge of the 853 tubing used at that time? I know it’s a really obscure question, but just throwing the net out and seeing what I can find.
thanks all!
Maybe dig through the various Lemond Tech manuals here. I think somewhere in there they discuss the various mix of 853 tubes used on the bikes.
