Eh... let's not jump to conclusions, here.

Also, JB weld toptube protector. Another thing I wouldn't do ever, but maybe someone will.
I'm really just posting this so someone will do it. Come on, please, and post pics.

Maybe I'll just let some craigslist con artists know. A crappy pake frame can be turned into an expensive lugged steel frame and who the **** will know? 50 bucks in JB weld could add 400 dollars to a craigslist posting... Uh oh...

have you seen the **** people try to sell on craigslist? A $10 yard sale bike becomes a $400 ss/fg after 2 hours of cleaning and part removal. It's rather impressive, really.

Well just think how much value faux lugs will ad!

Also, while this is not JB weld and while this is certainly much more difficult, I think it amounts to about the same.

Actually this guy probably would have saved a lot of tim and effort if he had just read my post. Tssk...

Use bondo instead, cheaper and easier to work with.

this is the equivalent of putting a type R badge on your buick.

JB weld rocks ... and lasts forever :thumb:
