sawzall:
nice score steve,no wonder i can never find a pro you have them all ;D

animal:
Just been doing a bit of remedial work 2 the above  ::) Looks like all the rust is mostly surface rust , cos if u scratch at it there is chrome left under all of it  ;) which is better  ;D Seatpost is soaking ready 4 removal time  :-\ then I'll stick the post in a lathe and straighten it . The major problem is that the seatpost tube is not connected 2 the bottom bracket  :tickedoff: The guy who had it said it came adrift and he had 2 stop using it . wonder if its still under guarantee with Tim  :LolLolLolLol: looks like the braizing never took on the BB casing so gonna have 2 rebraize it  ;) Think I will get the chrome stripped off first by my friendly chromer  ::)

sawzall:
you might have the same problem mine had steve,the bottom of the seat tube had rusted away,i thought it had
cracked but when i started to clean it up the bottom part of tube disintergrated :( here's a few pics of how i repaired it ;)

markyp:

animal:
