I just thought new peeps might like this thread before this gets its second outing at MK11  ;) I always mean 2 do a resto book of pics etc but never get round 2 it as I prefere the actual restos so use my time doing that 4 myself and members on here instead ::)

Update on F------ Chromers this morn  1/5/10 below :tickedoff: Beggining 2 wonder why I bother some times  :'(  :'(  :'(

Picked this baby up 2 nite  :smitten:  :smitten: Taken nearly 7 months from start 2 finish 2 get this MRD Pro frame in my hands  ::)
Its gonna take a hell of a lot of work but will b worth it  ::) Oh and the creme de la creme is that the seatpost is a genuine MRD item but is very stuck and slightly bent  :LolLolLolLol: I can easy sort that tho  :daumenhoch:









As in thread took it 2 the chromers 2 get chrome stripped . Was hoping stripping process would loosen seatpost  :wtf:. Picked it up this morning . The F------ Numpties have as good as scrapped it  :angrysoapbox:  :2gunsfiring_v1: :2gunsfiring_v1: :2gunsfiring_v1: They have let some tit turd try and get the post out . The damage is unreal  :rant: How the fook am I going 2 get this sorted 4 MK . Got some ideas on fixing it but Jesus how can u damage a customers part 2 this extent  :tickedoff:  :2gunsfiring_v1: Am considering asking them 2 pay me 4 the damage, just need 2 calm down enough first as nearly ripped the guys head off this morning  :Aresehole:

Dent in Top tube and the rear stays r totally flatted


Looks worse from the side  :shocked:


Rear stays r so buggered


sorry 4 the rant fellas but need 2 share it cos I am so sodding angry  :knuppel2: Took me ages 2 find this and as above ages 2 get my hands on it and now this  :tickedoff:  :tickedoff:  :tickedoff:

Wow :shocked: Was it being used as an anchor? ;D
Is the chrome bit where a pad was or something?

Can't wait to see it brought back to life :daumenhoch:

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  ::)

This project is now at chromers getting its chrome stripped  ;) Got the seatpost moving but was gonna cause damage 2 frame because it was flexing heavily due 2 the seatpost not being connected to the BB  ::) it is also bent inside the frame me thinks  :tickedoff: Anyway the chromer thinks by stripping it , it should loosen it more when the acid eats the chrome away on the outside of seatpost . I have also in the pub on Fri nite met an old mate who is gonna let me use his workshop 2 do the neccessary welding repairs  8)

as Paul says  ::)

This seems to happen time and time again with chromers   :-\  >:(

The damage on the top tube and rear stays is inexcusable imo , throw the fookin book at the numpties  :knuppel2:  

Hope you can get it sorted somehow mate  :daumenhoch:

I'd tell them they have to pay for the damage they have caused; that is inexcusable and borders on negligence  :2gunsfiring_v1:
