I’m going to build the front and mount it on the wall like it’s coming out of the wall. |
A couple section of oak doweledge and epoxy should get it back on the road!
|
I want to see an image of the inside of the top tube toward the seat lug from the aft section.
Reminds me of the guy who wanted the Campagnolo cranks pulled and bottom bracket out - a hacked back section of what was once a Raleigh Pro, all the tubes where sawed off within 6" of the shell. |
Lens distortion. Nothing wrong with that frame.

So you're not making a shop stool out of the back half?

A private would wrap duct tape around tongue depressors and splint that issue.
Then the same Sgt that told him to fix it would make him ride it. And bet with other Sgts on how far he made it. Merciless.:beer: |

^^^^^^ I call BS. So you're a bike thief, you happen upon a parked bike, unlocked, and you DON'T happen to notice two bigeffin' cylinders duct-taped to the seat tube? You DON'T notice that as soon as you grab it, it's about five pounds heavier than it should be? You DON'T notice that the seat looks like it's carved out of Frankenstein's shoulder?
And if they were real thieves, it wouldn't really be "bait" unless the cops were also in on it, ready to take them away. |
As a professional bike thief, you would be surprised at what people leave out to be stolen these days! Like, NO, I do not want your %^&* GMC Denali! nor your old rusty huffy or "magna" whatever that is - its neglected, left out in the rain- full of rust and needs a complete overhaul. Oh I have been a sucker in the past, grab one of these bikes and then- 6 hours labor and $100 the thing can actually go down the street without being a danger to the itself, the rider, and others within a 30 foot radius. and still the bike sucks.
But what can I get for it? Like $30 if I am lucky. Often from the original owner as they are the only ones that want it. If I am lucky they give me a tip, but I am still out $60 to $70 dollars and have wasted half my day. |
Crazy how a thread topic can go sideways, huh?

You have forgotten something. In order to qualify as a bike thief, you must be stupid. It's a requirement. Stupid people who are in a hurry to get away with their crimes will overlook things. Remember, this is a crime of opportunity, and they must be hasty as well as stupid.
also if you are looking for parts only a hacksaw would go thru most frames in seconds.... |

Right? What was this thread originally about, anyway?

I would honestly glue hickory or ash dowels into the tubes and see how it rides. They made whole frames out of the stuff a century ago.

I still have this frame and fork in the loft after harvesting some material. Have considered a bamboo downtube.

Nice two-tone. Early '80s?

Where is your sense of decorum, young man? |

That's pretty cool, I'd go with white wrap.
You can use the back half for a guitar stand. |
